Retriving contacts from Yahoo address book using java

Hi... want to import contacts from yahoo address book using java. Been able to get wssid and cookie but not able to move further with the following code using java:-


String req ="http://address.yahooapis.com/api/ws/v1/searchContacts?"+
"format=xml&fields=name,email&appid="+appId+"&WSSID="+wssid;
Cookie cookie=new Cookie("Cookie",new String(Base64.encodeBase64(ycookie.getBytes())));

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
GetMethod method = new GetMethod(req);
response.addCookie(cookie);
// Send GET request
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);

if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
System.err.println("Method failed: " + method.getStatusLine());
out.println("method.getStatusLine()-> "+method.getStatusLine());
}
InputStream rstream = null;

// Get the response body
try {
rstream = method.getResponseBodyAsStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
out.println("e "+e);
}

// Process the response from Yahoo! Web Services
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(rstream));
String line;
while((line = br.readLine()) != null){%>
<tr>
<td><%=line%></td>
</tr>
<%}%>
</table>

Executing the above code gives the following error:

method.getStatusLine()-> HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

Hope to hear soon from your side.......

  • hey even I am facing the same problem...I initially thought that I was not setting the cookie properly, but seems like thats not the case. Please let me know if you could find any solution to this problem.

  • Hey guys, i did the following thing and it worked like a charm!!!

    Remove these lines of code:
    Cookie cookie=new Cookie("Cookie",new String(Base64.encodeBase64(ycookie.getBytes())));
    response.addCookie(cookie);

    As u see we have to send the cookie to the Yahoo! so we have to insert it in the HTTP Header just before calling the executeMethod() method.
    use this line of code instead:

    method.setRequestHeader("Cookie", ycookie);

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

  • 403 - Forbidden: The server understood the credentials, but rejected the request because those credentials are not permitted to execute the requested service. Other than asking the user to log in again under a different appid with different permissions, there is usually not much you can do about this error message.
