How do i fix "Login information disallowed" error from google script? – Shopify

I’m trying to create products in Shopify with their API through a google sheet. Whenever I try to create an HTTP request I get the following error:

“Login information disallowed”

To test the API, I created a more or less identical python script. When I run the Python script the product gets created as planned. But I just can’t get it to work through my google sheet.

GOOGLE SCRIPT CODE (NOT WORKING) : 

function create_product() {

    var url = "https://XXXX:[email protected]/admin/api/2019-04/products.json";

    var data = {
             "product": {
                 "title": 'test 1',
                 "body_html": 'test 1',
                 "vendor": 'test 1',
                 "product_type": 'test 1',
                 "tags" : 'test 1'
                  }
              };

    var params = {
             method : 'POST',
             contentType : 'application/json',
             payload : JSON.stringify(data),
             };

    var post = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params);
}

PYTHON CODE:

import requests

url = "https://XXXX:[email protected]/admin/api/2019-04/products.json"

data = {
        "product": {
             "title": 'test 1',
             "body_html": 'test 1',
             "vendor": 'test 1',
             "product_type": 'test 1',
             "tags" : 'test 1'}
        }

post = requests.post(url=url, json=data)

I expected both scripts to give me the same results, but only the Python script seems to work. The “Login information disallowed” error keeps showing up in the google script, when i try to do the http post.

    As per this Stack Overflow answer and this issue on Google bug tracker, API credentials in the URL does not work well. Consider adding them in Authorization header. A sample code for POST request will be like

    var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
            "method": "post",
            'contentType': 'application/json',
            'payload': JSON.stringify(payload),
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode("username_here:password_here")
                }
            });

    I had the same issue, I was able to fix it with the followings:

    Here is what my Python code was:

        useremail= ""
    userpass =""
    SomeOtherKey_Value =""
    login_url_auth =""
    login_url = ""
    payload  = {

    payload = {"email":useremail,"password":userpass,"SOME OTHER KEY(case sensistive!!!)":SomeOtherKey_Value}

    result = session_requests.post(

        login_url_auth, 
        data = json.dumps(payload ),
        headers = {"referer":login_url, "Content-Type":"application/json"}
    )

    Here is my current GoogleScript code:

    useremail= ""
    userpass =""
    SomeOtherKey_Value =""
    login_url_auth =""
    login_url = ""

    var data = {
    'email': useremail,
    'password': userpass,
    'SOME OTHER KEY(case sensistive!!!)':SomeOtherKey_Value
    };

    var options = {
        'method' : 'post',
        'contentType': 'application/json',  // other post it was Content_Type!! no it's contentType for my case at least, even though Chrome developer mode shows it as Content_Type.

        'referer': login_url,
        // Convert the JavaScript object to a JSON string.
        // other post it was body!! no it's payload for my case at least, even though Chrome developer mode shows it as body 
        'payload' : JSON.stringify(data)
    };

    var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(login_url_auth , options);

    Once i was able to fix the request call, here is how I was able to check the result.

     var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(login_url_auth , options);

    for(i in result) {
        Logger.log(i + ": " + result[i]);
        //Logger.log("Data " + ": " + result[i].getContent());
    }
    Logger.log("Data " + result.getContentText())
