I'm trying to create a new contact (proof of concept) thru web api, but om getting 401 Unauthorized. I'll post my code below:
try
{
var jsonStr = "{ \"firstname\": \"Test\", \"lastname\":\"API\" }";
string username = "lars@foo.onmicrosoft.com";
string password = "qwert1234";
string domain = "foo.onmicrosoft.com";
string baseAddress = "https://foo.crm4.dynamics.com";
byte[] credentialBuffer = new UTF8Encoding().GetBytes(username + ":" + password);
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(baseAddress + "/api/data/v9.1/contacts");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + Convert.ToBase64String(credentialBuffer));
request.Headers.Add("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
request.Headers.Add("OData-Version", "4.0");
using (var stream = request.GetRequestStream())
{
var jsonStrBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(jsonStr);
stream.Write(jsonStrBytes, 0, jsonStrBytes.Length);
}
var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
var responseString = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{ }But from this I get 401 Unauthorized. This is Dynamics CRM Online and my user is a 365 user. What am I missing here?
