API Post /idnode/load always returns 403 forbidden

flipsidelive

Hi,

I'm playing about with the TVHeadend API. I can successfully call many services for example GET service/list and POST events/grid, however whenever I call idnode/load or any idnode call, I get 403 forbidden consistently.

I'm just using postman and below is an example of a body:

{
"uuid": "00029efb9de1555256d0157784c7a45b"
}

The account I'm using is an admin and the 'Web Interface' checkbox is checked.

Anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Have you tried including the UUID in the URL?

/bla/bla/bla/idnode/load?uuid=00029efb9de1555256d0157784c7a45b
or
/bla/bla/bla/idnode/load?uuid="00029efb9de1555256d0157784c7a45b"

It may or not need quotes, I'm not sure.

Have you tried it with cURL, from a command line?

You can inspect the idnode calls made by the web interface using Chrome Developer Tools. Right-click on a network call and you can even copy it as a cURL command and see how the data is structured.

Their request content type is "x-www-form-urlencoded" not JSON, so I don't think you need the brackets, colon, or quotes. This works for me:

/usr/bin/curl --silent --data 'uuid=1234567890abcdefghijk' 'http://user:pass@localhost:9981/tvheadend/api/idnode/load'
