Fetching secretvalue from CDK not working

I have stored an api key to invoke APigateway in secret manager. And I am trying to fetch that secret from cdk and attach to the rule's header parameter as given below
var secret = Amazon.CDK.AWS.SecretsManager.Secret.FromSecretAttributes(this, "SCMId", new Amazon.CDK.AWS.SecretsManager.SecretAttributes
{
SecretCompleteArn = apikeyArn
});
var apikey = secret.SecretValueFromJson("ApiKey").Resolve;
var httpParameters = new Amazon.CDK.AWS.Events.CfnRule.HttpParametersProperty { HeaderParameters = new Dictionary<string, string> { { "x-api-key", apikey.ToString() } } };
Then the event target with above http parameter
var eventRule = new Amazon.CDK.AWS.Events.CfnRule(this, ruleId, new Amazon.CDK.AWS.Events.CfnRuleProps
{
EventBusName = busName,
Name = ruleName,
Description = description,
EventPattern = eventPattern,
Targets = new[]
{
new Amazon.CDK.AWS.Events.CfnRule.TargetProperty
{
Id = id,
Arn = apiArn,
HttpParameters = httpParameters,
RoleArn = roleArn,
}
}
});
Still the api key is not working and I am getting 403 error when that particular event trying to invoke api.

Xero invoice send email using standard .NET library

Here I have created my project on the standard .NET library to GET/POST invoices. But as I want to email the invoice to which it's being created on that name. Here is my sample code below to create invoice.
public async Task<ActionResult> Create(string Name, string LineDescription, string LineQuantity, string LineUnitAmount, string LineAccountCode)
{
var xeroToken = TokenUtilities.GetStoredToken();
var utcTimeNow = DateTime.UtcNow;
var serviceProvider = new ServiceCollection().AddHttpClient().BuildServiceProvider();
var httpClientFactory = serviceProvider.GetService<IHttpClientFactory>();
XeroConfiguration XeroConfig = new XeroConfiguration
{
ClientId = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["XeroClientId"],
ClientSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["XeroClientSecret"],
CallbackUri = new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["XeroCallbackUri"]),
Scope = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["XeroScope"],
State = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["XeroState"]
};
if (utcTimeNow > xeroToken.ExpiresAtUtc)
{
var client = new XeroClient(XeroConfig, httpClientFactory);
xeroToken = (XeroOAuth2Token)await client.RefreshAccessTokenAsync(xeroToken);
TokenUtilities.StoreToken(xeroToken);
}
string accessToken = xeroToken.AccessToken;
string xeroTenantId = xeroToken.Tenants[0].TenantId.ToString();
//string xeroTenantId = xeroToken.Tenants[1].TenantId.ToString();
var contact = new Contact();
contact.Name = Name;
var line = new LineItem()
{
Description = LineDescription,
Quantity = decimal.Parse(LineQuantity),
UnitAmount = decimal.Parse(LineUnitAmount),
AccountCode = LineAccountCode
};
var lines = new List<LineItem>() { line };
//var lines = new List<LineItem>();
//for (int j = 0;j < 5;j++)
//{
// lines.Add(line);
//}
var invoice = new Invoice()
{
Type = Invoice.TypeEnum.ACCREC,
Contact = contact,
Date = DateTime.Today,
DueDate = DateTime.Today.AddDays(30),
LineItems = lines
};
var invoiceList = new List<Invoice>();
invoiceList.Add(invoice);
var invoices = new Invoices();
invoices._Invoices = invoiceList;
var AccountingApi = new AccountingApi();
var response = await AccountingApi.CreateInvoicesAsync(accessToken, xeroTenantId, invoices);
RequestEmpty _request = new RequestEmpty();
//trying this method to send email to specified invoice....
//var test = await AccountingApi.EmailInvoiceAsync(accessToken, xeroTenantId, Guid.NewGuid(), null);
var updatedUTC = response._Invoices[0].UpdatedDateUTC;
return RedirectToAction("Index", "InvoiceSync");
}
Now as I learned that Xero allows sending email to that specified invoice, here is a link which I learned.
https://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/invoices#email
But as try to find method in the .NET standard library for Xero I stumble upon this method.
var test = await AccountingApi.EmailInvoiceAsync(accessToken, xeroTenantId, Guid.NewGuid(), null);
How can I use this method to send email to a specified invoice ..?
It throws me an error regarding Cannot assign void to an implicitly-typed variable.
There is another method also in this library.
var test2 = await AccountingApi.EmailInvoiceAsyncWithHttpInfo(accessToken, xeroTenantId, Guid.NewGuid(), null);
As Guid.NewGuid() i have used is for only testing will add created GUID when I understand how these two methods operate.
Update 1:
Here is the method second method i used.
await AccountingApi.EmailInvoiceAsyncWithHttpInfo(accessToken, xeroTenantId, Guid.NewGuid(), null)
Update 2:
Here is the code i used.
public async Task EmailInvoiceTest(string accessToken,string xeroTenantId,Guid invoiceID, RequestEmpty requestEmpty)
{
var AccountingApi = new AccountingApi();
await AccountingApi.EmailInvoiceAsync(accessToken, xeroTenantId, invoiceID, requestEmpty).ConfigureAwait(false);
}

The return type of method EmailInvoiceAsync seems to be Task with return type void. If you await the task, there is no return type which could be assigned to a variable. Remove the variable assignment and pass a valid argument for parameter of type RequestEmpty to solve the problem.
RequestEmpty requestEmpty = new RequestEmpty();
await AccountingApi.EmailInvoiceAsync(accessToken, xeroTenantId, Guid.NewGuid(), requestEmpty);
For an example test see here
IMPORTANT: According to the documentation (see section Emailing an invoice) the invoice must be of Type ACCREC and must have a valid status for sending (SUMBITTED, AUTHORISED or PAID).

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

Asp MVC PayPal Transaction

I am trying to make a paypal handler. You type a money amount into an input, than you press donate button, you will be forwarded to the paypal page, you can login and than press continue button... The problem after I press the continue button its forward me back to the https://www.example.org/Account/PayPalHandler/ page, and thats it all. What is missing from my code to complete the paypal transaction?
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult DoPaymentPaypall(UserModel User_)
{
ResultModel<ManageAccountListModel> res_ = new ResultModel<ManageAccountListModel>();
res_.DataSelect = new ManageAccountListModel();
if (SessionManagement.LoginnedUser != null)
{
var config = ConfigManager.Instance.GetProperties();
var accessToken = new OAuthTokenCredential(config).GetAccessToken();
var apiContext = new APIContext(accessToken);
string moneyCount_ = User_.moneycount.ToString();
var payment = Payment.Create(apiContext, new Payment
{
intent = "sale",
payer = new Payer
{
payment_method = "paypal"
},
transactions = new List<Transaction>
{
new Transaction
{
description = "Donation",
invoice_number = "001",
amount = new Amount
{
currency = "USD",
total = moneyCount_,
details = new Details
{
tax = "0",
shipping = "0",
subtotal = moneyCount_
}
},
item_list = new ItemList
{
items = new List<Item>
{
new Item
{
name = "Donation",
currency = "USD",
price = moneyCount_,
quantity = "1",
sku = "Custom Package"
}
}
}
}
},
redirect_urls = new RedirectUrls
{
return_url = "https://www.example.org/Account/PayPalHandler/",
cancel_url = "https://www.example.org/"
}
});
res_.SuccessMessage = payment.links.ToList()[1].href;
}
res_.Success = true;
return new JsonResult { Data = res_, JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet };
}

Your code above seems to only show the initial/start of the process...so assuming you mean after the user has approved your request to use Paypal for payment (don't confuse this as "the payment" - this step only indicates that the user as agreed to use Paypal for payment) you'll need to Execute the payment.
The link shows the full flow
Create payment (this is what your code above maps to) - you'll get a payment id in this step
redirect user to Paypal approval_url for approval (of the details in the Create above) using the id you recieved
Paypal sends user back to your site with info on how to Execute payment (if user approves)
Execute payment (this is done at your site/app)

'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"]
};
