http-kit authorization with api-key

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 11:07:39 +0000

I need to make an API call with http-kit in Clojure where it uses API-Key as authorization. That is, in Postman, you would usually have the option to add an api-key, api-value and the option to add it to header or query-params.

I know the following would be the way to go in case of basic-auth:

{:url "<api-url>"
 :method :post
 :headers {"Content-Type" "application/json"}
 :basic-auth [<username> <password>]
 :body <body>)}

I need to make an API call with http-kit in Clojure where it uses API-Key as authorization. That is, in Postman, you would usually have the option to add an api-key, api-value and the option to add it to header or query-params.

{:url "<api-url>" :method :post :headers {"Content-Type" "application/json"} :basic-auth [<username> <password>] :body <body>)}

But a similar variation isn't working with api-key version. So far, I have tried:

{:basic-auth [<api-key> <api-value>]}

{:query-params {<api-key> <api-value>}}

{:query-params {:key <api-key>, :value <api-value>}}

{:headers {"Content-Type" "application/json", 
                    <api-key> <api-value>}

{:api-key [<api-key> <api-value>]}

{:api-key {<api-key> <api-value>}

and other variations, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Note:
- The authorization works on postman but I couldn't test the full api call there because the body is too long and too complex to copy, and the authorization isn't working from the application.
- I keep getting a 401 error with all these different combinations, and some give typeerrors depending on where in the request they're placed.
- The documentation isn't really useful. Here is the link.

Issue loading cognitect test-runner dependency in deps.edn: USERAUTH fail.

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 10:15:47 +0000

I am trying to use the Cognitect test-runner dependency to run my tests and I am getting a jgit USERAUTH fail when it tries to clone the dependency. I can use other test runners but I really want to know what is going on here. Lots of other people have had this issue, but I haven't found a good explanation of the issue, nor a resolution. Would appreciate both if anyone can help!

I'm using:

Java 8 (tried 11 too)
Mac 10.15.7 (Catalina)

I have a git ssh key without passcode

Can someone explain to me what the issue is? I have an idea that it's to do with jgit/jsch but I don't fully understand what the problem is.

my deps.edn :

  {:paths ["src" "resources"]
        :deps {org.clojure/clojure {:mvn/version "1.10.2"}}
        :aliases
         { :test {:extra-paths ["test"]
            :extra-deps {com.cognitect/test-runner
                               {:git/url "https://github.com/cognitect-labs/test-runner.git"
                                :sha "209b64504cb3bd3b99ecfec7937b358a879f55c1"}}
            :main-opts ["-m" "cognitect.test-runner"]}}

clj -A:test output:
