Trello error 401 PHP

#1

Hi, I’m new at Trello API and I’m working with on a PHP project. I’m trying to write a comment or put a label on a card following the example on the documentation (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/trello/rest/api-group-cards/#api-cards-id-actions-comments-post), but the only result is I got is error 401.

The error doesn’t occur with the Unirest\Request::get example

I’m quite sure that my token has all the authorizations. On the authorization page, I can see that the token can do everything but read my password.

What I am missing?

Thanks

Can you see the error message coming along with the 401?

Generally the error will respond with a message that includes some clue as to what is happening.

Here the error when I try to delete a card:

That means that the API key isn’t making it through correctly. Can you double-check that you are using the correct API key?

#5

The key works correctly with the get request.
This is all the code I’m using:

<?php
require_once '/Users/silvio/vendor/mashape/unirest-php/src/Unirest.php';
$headers = array(
  'Accept' => 'application/json'
);

$query = array(
  'key' => '{MYKEY}',
  'token' => '{MY TOKEN}'
  );

  // $response = Unirest\Request::get(
  //   'https://api.trello.com/1/cards/5fd1f3aff7f21008fca68a1b',
  //   $headers,
  //   $query
  // );

  $response = Unirest\Request::post(
    'https://api.trello.com/1/cards/5fd1f3aff7f21008fca68a1b/idLabels',
    $query
  );

var_dump($response);
?>
#6

What are you trying to do in that request?

It looks like a POST to /cards/{idCard}/idLabels with only a key and token in the parameters.

I’d expect a request to create a new label to look like this:

curl 'https://trello.com/1/card/5d1d0f762f29801443e2a61b/labels/?key={{key}}&token={{token}}' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-binary '{"name":"asd","color":"pink","idBoard":"586e8f681d4fe9b06a928307"}' \
  --compressed

You’ll notice that there are additional parameters required to create a label.

I notice that in your code after the idCard you use /labels/ and then all the parameters.

in the example code found here the url is:
/cards/{id}/idLabels

I change my URL from /idLabel/ to /labels/ and it works, even without all the parameters.
Then I’ve put also all the correct parameters and still works
