Confluence User - 13 Aug, 2020

Hi There

I'm using the DX cloud version and am wanting to access a JSON API via ajax from the web browser of a signed in user.

eg:

$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'https://kiwicivil.cloud.joget.com/jw/web/json/data/list/kc1/equipmentList',
success: function(res) {
console.log(res);
},
dataType: "jsonp",
cache: false
});

If I am logged in as the administrator, then this work fine.

However if I am logged in as another user, then I get a 403 response.

If I include a data element, eg:

data: {
j_username : 'admin',
j_password : 'xxxx',
loginAs : 'xxxxx'
},

Then joget changes the login for the entire browser session.

Is there any way that I can access the JSON API as an existing signed in user without it returning a 403 error?

Cheers

Dave

Hi, according to the docs JSON API#web/json/data/list/(*:appId)/(*:listId) that API is for the admin role. If you need something different, you can use the API Builder to build your custom APIs.

Hi Anders

Thanks for this, I missed the significance of that in the documentation. That would explain why the JSON call only worked when logged in as admin.
