Retrieve all contents of Zoho module via REST API c#

I am trying to get the full contents of my modules From Zoho to our local Server. The deluge code does work as it returns to me the data which is being sent via the API. However, once it reaches the API, it is null. Any idea?
Below is the deluge code:
// Create a map that holds the values of the new contact that needs to be created
evaluation_info = Map();
evaluation_info.put("BulkData",zoho.crm.getRecords("Publishers"));
data = Map();
data.put(evaluation_info);
response = invokeurl
[
url :"https://zohoapi.xxxxx.com/publisher/publish"
type :POST
parameters:data
connection:"zohowebapi"
];
info data; (data returns all the data from publishers)
Here is my ASP.NET core restful API. It does ping it and create the file but the content of the file is null.
Route("[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class PublisherController : ControllerBase
{
[HttpGet("[action]"), HttpPost("[action]")]
public void Publish(string data)
{
(it's already null when it comes here. why?)
string JSONresult = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
string path = #"C:\storage\journalytics_evaluationsv2.json";
using (var file = new StreamWriter(path, true))
{
file.WriteLine(JSONresult.ToString());
file.Close();
}
}
}
}
What am I missing? Thank you

After contacting Zoho support, the solution he offered was to loop through the data in order to get all the contents from a module (if they are more than 200 records. With the solution provided, one doesn't really need the deluge code anymore as long as you have the ZOHO api set to your account in code. This was my final solution. This solution is not scalable at all. It's best to work with the BULK CSV.
// Our own ZohoAPI which lets us connect and authenticate etc. Yours may look slightly different
ZohoApi zohoApi = new ZohoApi();
zohoApi.Initialize();
ZCRMRestClient restClient = ZCRMRestClient.GetInstance();
var allMedicalJournals = new List<ZCRMRecord>();
for (int i = 1; i <= 30; i++)
{
List<ZCRMRecord> accountAccessRecords2 =
restClient.GetModuleInstance("Journals").SearchByCriteria("Tag:equals:MedicalSet", i, 200).BulkData.ToList();
foreach (var newData in accountAccessRecords2)
allMedicalJournals.Add(newData);
}

Trying to find how a specific 32 hex character webform is generated from Netgear Managed Switch local UI webpage

I am trying to simulate navigating Netgear Managed Switch (GC108PP) local UI webpage in C#. When sending HttpWebRequest using a Chrome browser, I've learned using Fiddler - there are 3 WebForms that are generated when hitting this URL:
http://192.168.50.101
ends up being:
http://192.168.50.101/cgi/get.cgi?cmd=home_login&dummy=1582137153063&bj4=3f104a21e12a9584d36372142f16e35b
WebForms:
cmd=home_login
dummy=1582137153063 (time since epoch, this one was easy to figure out)
bj4=3f104a21e12a9584d36372142f16e35b (trying to figure out how to generate this one)
There is no HTTP API to reference from Netgear. I have tried just generating a 32 char string with:
private static Random random = new Random();
public static string randomString(int length)
{
const string chars = "abcdef0123456789";
return new string(Enumerable.Repeat(chars, length).Select(s =>s[random.Next(s.Length)]).ToArray());
}
However, I get ERROR 400 Bad Request.If I use a bj4 key/ID that gets generated by my browser statically in my code it works, but I want to be generating this webform properly.
Any ideas on how this WebForm might be be generated?

Found it in the JS...
function gotoLogin()
{
document.cookie = \"testcookie\";
cookieEnabled = (document.cookie.indexOf(\"testcookie\") != -1) ? true : false;
if (cookieEnabled == false)
{
alert(\"Browser does not accept cookies. Please configure your browser to accept cookies in order to access the Web Interface.\");
}
var fileVer = (new Date().getTime());
var url = \"login.html?aj4=\"+fileVer;
url = url + '&bj4=' + md5(url.split('?')[1]); //here!!!
window.location.href=url;
}

Send xsl doc in body of email

Programming would be much easier without users...
What I really need to be able to do is:
Put the content of a web page (including styles) into the body of an email and also set the subject.
OR
Send the current user an email containing the body of a web page.
I really don't care how this is implemented -- server or client side. I've not come up with any good way of client side besides trying to push the web page into the clipboard for the users to then paste into their email.
App Background
I wrote a web site using c#, ts, angular. The site manages xml documents.
The users can select a document and click the "Human Readable" button or the "XML" button. The "Human Readable" is xml with xsl to make it look pretty for the humans. The XML button is apparently for non-humans.
The "Human Readable" version opens in another browser tab.
The users want a new "email" button for emailing the human readable. The person clicking the email button has access to my web site but the recipient may not.
I've attempted educating my users to do Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, open email, Ctrl+V but this is beyond most of their capabilities.
I have tried so many different ways to accomplish this and all have failed.
I currently do a mailto link which opens their email and the body contains a link to the Human Readable.
Here's what I've tried so far -- this may not be a conclusive list of my attempts as I've been at this for a few days now.
I've tried putting a button in the human readable (xsl with javascript) in an attempt to copy the resulting html into the clipboard for the users to paste.
A button on the web site to scrape an iFrame into the clipboard
Many iterations of javascript copy/paste techniques
a c# controller that does a ReadAsStringAsync().Result function (which I will post below because I like that solution the best so far...
Option #4 I'm partial to and I got almost working -- if it weren't for that pesky xsl not getting formatted it would probably work. My results are the data being presented without xml tags and no styles.
[ActionName("PostEmailHumanReadable")]
public void EmailHumanReadable(List<DocumentVM> documents)

foreach (var document in documents)
{
var docId = document.document.DocId;
var docTypeId = document.document.DocTypeId;
var co = string.Empty;
var order = string.Empty;
var name = string.Empty;
var po = string.Empty;
// get the data for the subject line
using (var efUoW = new EFUnitOfWork(EDIEnvironment.EDIEnvironment.Instance.ConnectionString))
{
var doc = efUoW.DocumentRepository.GetById(docId);

foreach (var o in orders)
order += string.Format("{0} ", o.OrderId);
//order = string.Join(",", doc.DocumentOrders.Select(q => q.OrderId).ToList());

name = doc.PurchaseOrder;
}
var subject = string.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}", co, order, name, po);

var hrText = hrResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
// format the url
var url = string.Format("<a href='/api/Documents/Getfile?DocId={0}&DocTypeId={1}'>click here to open the jEDI Human Readable</a><br><br>", docId, docTypeId);
// find the current user's email address
var users = new List<string>();
users.Add(AppUser.ADUserName);
//var to = EmailUtility.GetEmailID(users);
// and finally send the email
EmailUtility.SendEmail(EmailUtility.GetEmailID(users), null, subject, url + hrText);
}
}
[ActionName("GetFile")]
public HttpResponseMessage GetFile(int DocId, int DocTypeId)
{
if (DocTypeId == (int)DocumentTypeEnum.EDI850)
{
using (var efUoW = new Factory_UOW().EF_UOW())
{
var doc = efUoW.DocumentRepository.GetById(DocId);
var xdoc = XDocument.Parse(doc.Message);
var proc = new XProcessingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", "type='text/xsl' href='/EDI850.xsl'");
xdoc.Root.AddBeforeSelf(proc);
var response = new HttpResponseMessage();
response.Content = new System.Net.Http.StringContent(xdoc.ToString());
response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("text/xml");
response.Content.Headers.Add("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=edge");
return response;
}
I would be very grateful for any assistance in getting this to work.
And, yes, I know I shouldn't do the Async().Result -- blocking and all that... Let's just get this working first, shall we?

Unity 3D secure authentication with SQL

I'm developing an android application in unity 3d that will have network communications for user accounts updating said accounts as well as controlling everything on the back end of the app. I use the WWW class in unity to send info to the server. The backend is php and all the data is stored in a mysql database. How can I make a secure connection between the app and the backend without someone just simply getting the servers address and blocking it in their hosts file and feeding the app false info and going online with it.(as an example) I'm no security expert but I'm not sure what I need to look in too in order to create secure connections between server and client. Any help would be greatly apericiated. Thank you.

you just need to implement the www class
void start()
{
StartCoroutine(retrieveHighscores()); //Start out by getting the current scores.
}
IEnumerator retrieveHighscores()
{
var form = new WWWForm(); // create a new form
form.AddField("Nipun",name); // add the data you want to retrieve in the form fields
var rawData = form.data;
var headers = form.headers; // here headers will be used to authenticate the credentials of the person trying to access
headers["Authorization"]="Basic " + System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("username:password"));
WWW webRequest = new WWW("https://abc.com/test.php", rawData, headers); //
yield return webRequest;
if (webRequest != null) {
//here you have successfully got the response back from the server , here i am adding the whole response in a string and then splitting the string based on the format of the data i received.
string x = webRequest.text;
string[] lines = webRequest.text.Split(new string[] { System.Environment.NewLine }, System.StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); //Split the response by newlines.
Debug.Log(x); // to check what you received
scores = new Dictionary<string, int>(); //Always reset our scores, as we just got new ones.
foreach (string line in lines) //Parse every line
{
// code here how you want to use the split up data you received
}
}
else
Debug.Log("error");
}
}

How to Get the HTTP Post data in C#?

I am using Mailgun API. There is a section that I need to provide a URL to them, then they are going to HTTP Post some data to me.
I provide this URL (http://test.com/MailGun/Webhook.aspx) to Mailgun, so they can Post data. I have a list of parameter names that they are sending like (recipient,domain, ip,...).
I am not sure how get that posted data in my page.
In Webhook.aspx page I tried some code as follows but all of them are empty.
lblrecipient.text= Request.Form["recipient"];
lblip.Text= Request.Params["ip"];
lbldomain.Text = Request.QueryString["domain"];
Not sure what to try to get the posted data?

This code will list out all the form variables that are being sent in a POST. This way you can see if you have the proper names of the post values.
string[] keys = Request.Form.AllKeys;
for (int i= 0; i < keys.Length; i++)
{
Response.Write(keys[i] + ": " + Request.Form[keys[i]] + "<br>");
}

This code reads the raw input stream from the HTTP request. Use this if the data isn't available in Request.Form or other model bindings or if you need access to the bytes/text as it comes.
using(var reader = new StreamReader(Request.InputStream))
content = reader.ReadToEnd();

You can simply use Request["recipient"] to "read the HTTP values sent by a client during a Web request"
To access data from the QueryString, Form, Cookies, or ServerVariables
collections, you can write Request["key"]
Source:
MSDN
Update: Summarizing conversation
In order to view the values that MailGun is posting to your site you will need to read them from the web request that MailGun is making, record them somewhere and then display them on your page.
You should have one endpoint where MailGun will send the POST values to and another page that you use to view the recorded values.
It appears that right now you have one page. So when you view this page, and you read the Request values, you are reading the values from YOUR request, not MailGun.

You are missing a step. You need to log / store the values on your server (mailgun is a client). Then you need to retrieve those values on your server (your pc with your web browser will be a client). These will be two totally different aspx files (or the same one with different parameters).
aspx page 1 (the one that mailgun has):
var val = Request.Form["recipient"];
var file = new File(filename);
file.write(val);
close(file);
aspx page 2:
var contents = "";
if (File.exists(filename))
var file = File.open(filename);
contents = file.readtoend();
file.close()
Request.write(contents);

Use this:
public void ShowAllPostBackData()
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
string[] keys = Request.Form.AllKeys;
Literal ctlAllPostbackData = new Literal();
ctlAllPostbackData.Text = "<div class='well well-lg' style='border:1px solid black;z-index:99999;position:absolute;'><h3>All postback data:</h3><br />";
for (int i = 0; i < keys.Length; i++)
{
ctlAllPostbackData.Text += "<b>" + keys[i] + "</b>: " + Request[keys[i]] + "<br />";
}
ctlAllPostbackData.Text += "</div>";
this.Controls.Add(ctlAllPostbackData);
}
}

In the web browser, open up developer console (F12 in Chrome and IE), then open network tab and watch the request and response data. Another option - use Fiddler (http://fiddler2.com/).
When you get to see the POST request as it is being sent to your page, look into query string and headers. You will see whether your data comes in query string or as form - or maybe it is not being sent to your page at all.
UPDATE: sorry, had to look at MailGun APIs first, they do not go through your browser, requests come directly from their server. You'll have to debug and examine all members of Request.Params when you get the POST from MailGun.

Try this
string[] keys = Request.Form.AllKeys;
var value = "";
for (int i= 0; i < keys.Length; i++)
{
// here you get the name eg test[0].quantity
// keys[i];
// to get the value you use
value = Request.Form[keys[i]];
}

In my case because I assigned the post data to the header, this is how I get it:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
...
postValue = Request.Headers["Key"];
This is how I attached the value and key to the POST:
var request = new NSMutableUrlRequest(url){
HttpMethod = "POST",
Headers = NSDictionary.FromObjectAndKey(FromObject(value), FromObject("key"))
};
webView.LoadRequest(request);

You can try to check the 'Request.Form.Keys'. If it will not works well, you can use 'request.inputStream' to get the soap string which will tell you all the request keys.
