ION API

eandrango27

Hi,

I'm trying to consume a API from ION API whit auth credentials with a third party application in dot Net
I've already configurated the authorized applications and get the file with all information parameters with this credentials to connect to the API

So ... the API is Infor Data Fabric / datalakev2

So, I tried this one: /dataobjects

In short, I put all this information in Postman and I can get the final json fromat that this API returns in the "Body" response.

But in dot Net app, 

I am using a:

Then, I get this:

I have tried a lot of decompression methods, dflate, gzip, base64, but none of them work and obviously not because the final string returned by the API is just that, a binary combination, and it cannot be determined which algorithm was used for the original compression, hence it cannot be decompressed.

Others say that the file is damaged, corrupt etc. Why Postman if it brings it correctly?

I would greatly appreciate your help.

You should try ZLIB decompression. Download the file with some extension e.g. zlib.

E.G. For manual testing use the openssl present in Cygwin from https://www.cygwin.com/ and install Cygwin adding the openssl too.

 

To Inflate:

openssl zlib -d <YourDownloadedFIle.zlib >output.json

To Deflate:

openssl zlib -z < ./YourInputFile.json > deflated.zip

The deflated file can be imported easily via API.
