So I'm trying to make use of the Basecamp API. The new one located here: https://github.com/basecamp/bcx-api
So I see a similar question that was asked here on SO:
New basecamp api tells me there's no basecamp account at this address
I tried to follow the example, including reading the comments, but it's not working for me. In particular, this comment on the accepted answer:
This is basecamp account id, as you can see this unique id in url after login in basecamp account
Normally when I login to basecamp, I login here:
https : // myclientname dot basecamphq dot com/login.
When I login, it redirects me to
https : // myclientname dot basecamphq.com/clients.
When I am logged into the web interface from there, I can go to a "My Info" link at the top right and there is a "Token for feed readers or the Basecamp API" listed.
But.. I don't have a client id in the url? I tried all kinds of combinations, and nothing worked. Here are some examples of what I tried (using correct values):
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://myclientname.basecamphq.com/api/v1/projects.json`
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://basecamp.com/myclientname/api/v1/projects.json
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://basecamp.com/mytokenhere/api/v1/projects.json
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://myclientname.basecamphq.com/mytokenhere/api/v1/projects.json
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://myclientname.basecamphq.com/myclientname/api/v1/projects.json
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://basecamphq.com/myclientname/api/v1/projects.json
These things are just giving me regular html responses saying stuff like "no basecamp account at this address" or "Oops, that isn't right. You may have typed the URL incorrectly[..]" or sometimes curl returns "curl: (51) SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK" (like in the last attempt shown)
Soo.. what am I doing wrong here?
edit
I did notice when I log into the basecamphq.com web interface, there are some meta tags at the top of the page (from view-source)
That look like this:
<meta name='current-user' content=1234567>
<meta name='current-identity' content=12345>
<meta name='current-account' content=123456>
I also tried stuff with the current-identity and current-account but those didn't work either, just kept giving me the same messages. e.g.
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://myclientname.basecamphq.com/123456/api/v1/projects.json
curl -u myuser:mypass -H 'User-Agent: MyApp (my@email.com)' https://basecamp.com/123456/api/v1/projects.json
