Stripe Payment integration error 'No such token'

I want to integrate Stripe into my ASP.NET MVC application.
So, As the first step, I'm trying to do it with simple code.
This is my simple code below,
var customers = new CustomerService();
var charges = new ChargeService();
var publishableKey = "pk_test_51KseuBH1Mw1tyjglBiJls20038FcgbHr";
StripeConfiguration.SetApiKey(publishableKey);
StripeConfiguration.ApiKey = "sk_test_51KseuRqoYQ6YGD7TNzPp0051boOPvQ";
var customer = customers.Create(new CustomerCreateOptions
{
Email = "isanka.ad#gmail.com",
Source = publishableKey
});
var charge = charges.Create(new ChargeCreateOptions
{
Amount = 500,
Description = "Sample Charge",
Currency = "usd",
Customer = customer.Id
});
I have tried different codes on forams. But it always returns the same error below,
No such token: 'pk_test_51KseuBHaMw1tyjglBiJls20038FcgbHr'
This is my Stripe keys,
Did I define secret key and publishable key incorrectly?

The publishable key must not be used in your backend code. It is for your client-side code, as described in the documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/keys. Moreover, the Source property on the customer describes the payment method: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create?lang=dotnet. I can recommend getting started with Stripe with the quick start guide: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/quickstart.

It seems you copied only the first line of the API Key.
Please make sure that you are using the complete API Key in your application, and you don't need to use publishable key in your backend integration.

The source value only accepts payment source created via the Token or Sources APIs.
When creating a customer in your sample code, the Source was assigned with publishableKey which is invalid and that's probably why "No such token" was returned.
If you do not have any source created upfront, then Source should be removed from your customer creation request.

I was missing creating the card and token
generate. Above I have assigned the publishable token as the source value, not generated token.
Here is the full working code.
public async Task<ProcessPaymentResult> ProcessPaymentAsync(ProcessPaymentRequest processPaymentRequest)
{
var processPaymentResult = new ProcessPaymentResult();
try
{
var customers = new CustomerService();
var charges = new ChargeService();
var options = new RequestOptions
{
ApiKey = // your Secret Key
};
#region Card payment checkout
var creditCardType = processPaymentRequest.CreditCardType.ToString();
var optionToken = new TokenCreateOptions
{
Card = new TokenCardOptions
{
Number = processPaymentRequest.CreditCardNumber,
ExpMonth = processPaymentRequest.CreditCardExpireMonth,
ExpYear = processPaymentRequest.CreditCardExpireYear,
Cvc = processPaymentRequest.CreditCardCvv2,
Name = processPaymentRequest.CreditCardName,
Currency = _workContext.WorkingCurrency.CurrencyCode
},
};
var tokenService = new TokenService();
Token paymentToken = await tokenService.CreateAsync(optionToken, options);

var customerEmail = processPaymentRequest.CustomValues["CustomerEmail"].ToString();
// Search customer in Stripe
var stripeCustomer = await customers.ListAsync(new CustomerListOptions
{

Limit = 1
}, options);
if (stripeCustomer.Data.Count==0)
{
// create new customer
customer = await customers.CreateAsync(new CustomerCreateOptions
{
Source = paymentToken.Id,
Phone = processPaymentRequest.CustomValues["Phone"].ToString(),
Name = processPaymentRequest.CustomValues["CustomerName"].ToString(),
Email = customerEmail,
Description = $" { processPaymentRequest.CustomValues["RegisteredEmail"]};{ processPaymentRequest.CustomValues["CustomerName"] }",
}, options);
}
else
{
// use existing customer
customer = stripeCustomer.FirstOrDefault();
}
#endregion
#region Stripe charges
var charge = await charges.CreateAsync(new ChargeCreateOptions
{
Source = paymentToken.Id,//Customer = customer.Id,
Amount = (int)(Math.Round(processPaymentRequest.OrderTotal, 2) * 100),
Currency = _workContext.WorkingCurrency.CurrencyCode,
ReceiptEmail = customer.Email,
Description = $" { processPaymentRequest.CustomValues["RegisteredEmail"]};{ processPaymentRequest.CustomValues["CustomerName"] }",
}, options);
if (charge.Status.ToLower().Equals("succeeded"))
{
processPaymentResult.NewPaymentStatus = PaymentStatus.Paid;
processPaymentResult.CaptureTransactionId = charge.Id;
}
else
{
processPaymentResult.AddError("Error processing payment." + charge.FailureMessage);
}
#endregion
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
processPaymentResult.AddError(ex.Message);
}
return processPaymentResult;
}

You need to add secretKey in the setapikey function.
// StripeConfiguration.SetApiKey(publishableKey);
StripeConfiguration.SetApiKey(secretKey);

How to connect a .net console app client to azure data factory

I have created a Azure data factory pipeline as follows:
Azure SQL Database --> CSV Blob storage --> Azure Hyperscale Citus.
But this pipeline was created on azure datafactory UI.
Now i want to create this pipeline through a console app.
1.) But i am not able to figure out how to authenticate the client and connect to data factory to execute a pipeline.
2.) And is this the best way to convert the sql DB --> hyperscale

If you want to create Azure Data Factory pipeline with C# console application, we can use package Microsoft.Azure.Management.DataFactory. For more details, please refer to the document
For example (I create a pipeline to copy blobs from one container to another container)

Making DialogFlow v2 DetectIntent Calls w/ C# (including input context)

So I finally figured out a way to successfully make detect intent calls and provide an input context. My question is whether or not this is the CORRECT (or best) way to do it:
(And yes, I know you can just call DetectIntent(agent, session, query) but I have to provide a input context(s) depending on the request)
var query = new QueryInput
{
Text = new TextInput
{
Text = model.Content,
LanguageCode = string.IsNullOrEmpty(model.Language) ? "en-us" : model.Language,
}
};
var commonContext = new global::Google.Cloud.Dialogflow.V2.Context
{
ContextName = new ContextName(agent, model.sessionId, "my-input-context-data"),
LifespanCount = 3,
Parameters = new Struct
{
Fields = {
{ "Source", Value.ForString(model.Source) },
{ "UserId" , Value.ForString(model.UserId.ToString())},
{ "Name" , Value.ForString(model.FirstName)}
}
}
};
var request = new DetectIntentRequest
{
SessionAsSessionName = new SessionName(agent, model.sessionId),
QueryParams = new QueryParameters
{
GeoLocation = new LatLng {Latitude = model.Latitude, Longitude = model.Longitude},
TimeZone = model.TimeZone ?? "MST"
},
QueryInput = query
};
request.QueryParams.Contexts.Add(commonContext);
// ------------
var creds = GetGoogleCredentials("myCredentials.json");
var channel = new Grpc.Core.Channel(SessionsClient.DefaultEndpoint.Host, creds.ToChannelCredentials());
var client = SessionsClient.Create(channel);
var response = client.DetectIntent(request);
channel.ShutdownAsync();
return response;
Note: I included the explicit ShutDownAsync (it's not in an async call) because I was getting some file locking issues when attempting to re-deploy the WebAPI project (and only after having executed this code).
Thanks
Chris
Updated 4/25: The most basic way I use this is to integrate the user's name into intent responses:
It can also be read from within the webhook/inline fulfillment index.js:
const name = request.body.queryResult && request.body.queryResult.outputContexts && request.body.queryResult.outputContexts[0].parameters.Name

Xamarin: Using HttpClient POST in combination with a dynamic Class

I have some services that require rather complex objects. Every service uses almost the same base object but it needs to be extended for each service.
A simple example:
The Standard Object would be something like:
ContextObject {
params {
Device {
Name: "MyMobileDevice",
ID: 123455691919238
}
}
}
and for my service I need to add some properties under params,
something like:
ContextObject {
params {
Device {
Name: "MyMobileDevice",
ID: 123455691919238
},
requested_employee_id: 112929
}
}
I tried to get this by using JObject and got it working so far but now I cant find a proper example on how to send this object to my server using HttpClient.
Edit:
Here is my full JObject which all Requests need:
public static JObject DefaultContext (string ServiceMethod) {
var Context = new JObject();
Context["version"] = "1.1";
Context["method"] = ServiceMethod;
Context["params"] = JObject.FromObject( new {
Context = JObject.FromObject( new {
User = App.UserSettings.USERNAME,
Password = App.UserSettings.PASSWORD,
SerialNumber = "1234567890", // TODO: use generated id
Locale = "de-DE",
Timestamp = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH\\:mm\\:ss.fffzzz"),
Device = JObject.FromObject( new {
DeviceType = "phone",
ProductType = "D6603", // TODO: Get from Device-Info
screen = JObject.FromObject( new {
Density = "xxhdpi", // TODO: Get from Device-Info
resolution = JObject.FromObject( new {
Height = "1920", // TODO: Get from Device-Info
Width = "1080" // TODO: Get from Device-Info
})
}),
version = JObject.FromObject( new {
AppVersion = "myAppVersion", // TODO: Get App-Information LayoutVersion = "1.0"
} )
})
})
});
return mobileContext;
}
For my Requests I need to add parameters under the "params"-Node. Which works with:
mobileContext["params"]["mynewparameter"] = "FOO";
Now I wanted to send this JObject via System.Net.Http-Client to my server with something like this:
var client = new HttpClient ();
client.BaseAddress = new Uri (App.UserSettings.HOST + ":" + App.UserSettings.PORT + App.UserSettings.TYPE);
client.Timeout = 3000;
var context = MyContext.DefaultContext (ServiceMethods.CUSTOMER_LIST_METHOD);
context ["params"] ["myrequestparam"] = "FOO";
var jsonString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject (context);
var responseData = await client.Get???????
Is my general approach correct? How would you do it? Is there a sample on how to handle such dynamic stuff?
I couldn't find a example on how to use httpclient correctly with the Newtonsoft.JSON-Library how far am I from actually working code?

'Security header is not valid' using PayPal sandbox in .NET

I am using the PayPal sandbox in ASP.Net C# 4.0. I added the following web references:
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/wsdl/PayPalSvc.wsdl
https://www.paypalobjects.com/wsdl/PayPalSvc.wsdl
When I run this code:
PayPalAPIHelper.PayPalSandboxWS.SetExpressCheckoutReq req = new PayPalAPIHelper.PayPalSandboxWS.SetExpressCheckoutReq()
{
SetExpressCheckoutRequest = new PayPalAPIHelper.PayPalSandboxWS.SetExpressCheckoutRequestType()
{
Version = Version,
SetExpressCheckoutRequestDetails = reqDetails
}
};
// query PayPal and get token
PayPalAPIHelper.PayPalSandboxWS.SetExpressCheckoutResponseType resp = BuildPayPalSandboxWebservice().SetExpressCheckout(req);
In my resp object, the error message says:
Security header is not valid
I was told to give it correct API credentials. I signed up on developer.paypal.com and i'm assuming the email address and password i used are my valid credentials. How and where do I give it my API credentials? Thanks

Did you check the endpoint addresses in your web.config file
Those should be referenced to following url's
For API Certificate => SOAP https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/
For API Signature => SOAP https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/
If you are using Signature then use the following code
CustomSecurityHeaderType type = new CustomSecurityHeaderType();
type.Credentials = new UserIdPasswordType()
{
Username = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalUserName"], //Not paypal login username
Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalPassword"], //not login password
Signature = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalSignature"]
};
To get Paypal signature follow the link
For more info click here
Update:
Please check the following code it is working for me
CustomSecurityHeaderType type = new CustomSecurityHeaderType();
type.Credentials = new UserIdPasswordType()
{
Username = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalUserName"],
Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalPassword"],
Signature = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PayPalSignature"]
};
