Hey friends I have noticed UmbracoApiController has now been depreciated, so i am trying to use the example from the docs using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc; namespace UmbracoDocs.Samples; [ApiController] [Route("/api/shop/products")] public class ProductsController : Controller { [HttpGet] public IActionResult GetAll() => Ok(new[] { "Table", "Chair", "Desk", "Computer" }); } hitting the endpoint with postman - https://localhost:44325/api/shop/products/getall but i seem to just get a html reponse, im not sure what im doing wrong here? can anyone help? thanks!

That exact code returns JSON for me https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1265999029116866673/1266002131136020540/image.png?ex=66a38fdd&is=66a23e5d&hm=459077429a55cf3097af5cfca6a9c0f52a0e820daf32a105ea234226b6f5da02&

😕

Think you need to tell postman that you expect json back

hey sebastiaan super cool you got back to me! feels like meeting a celebrity lol.

Like so1 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1265999029116866673/1266002710428389457/image.png?ex=66a39067&is=66a23ee7&hm=f6ef351475ba3763a1a26f6477aba982c70fa36438a4d3bdc86bf386226f6f00&

Thanks so much!

You can also convince ASP.NET that it should always return JSON using something like:

csharp
return Json(data);

Given that your controller extends ASP.NET's

Controller

class, you'll have acces to a bunch of different methods - with the

Json

method being one of them.

Sweet!! thanks so much everyone. glad i come across the discord!

Only way I've found to have backoffice user auth is to have it under the

/umbraco

route. But I really don't know a lot about auth https://github.com/nul800sebastiaan/Cultiv.Hangfire/blob/bellissima/Cultiv.Hangfire/UmbracoBuilderExtensions.cs#L39

duly noted 🙂 forgive me this time around 🙂

all good!

oh interesting, so starting the route with "/umbraco" restricts it to just backoffice members

Not necesserily.. But again, I am not great at all of this stuff so I won't be able to give you conclusive answers.. best start a new thread 🙂

ill give it a shot anyway!, thanks sebastiaan youre a top g!

Umbraco 14 handles authentication very differently from previous versions of Umbraco. In previous versions, your controller should extend the

UmbracoAuthorizedApiController

class, and then users would only be able to access your controller if already authenticated with the backoffice. The authentication was cookie based, so you didn't need to pass any extra parameters for the authentication to work. Umbraco 14 instead uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication, meaning you should sent a bearer token via the

Authorization

header for each request. Umbraco 14 has also dropped support for

UmbracoApiController

and

UmbracoAuthorizedApiController

, so you can instead extend ASP.NET's

Controller

class directly instead. I haven't read up on all the authentication options, but say your controller should only be accessible to backoffice users with access to the content section, you can add this attribute to the controller: https://github.com/skybrud/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/blob/v14/main/src/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/Controllers/Api/BackOffice/RedirectsController.cs#L31 The frontend for the backoffice would then have to obtain the bearer token and pass it on to the controller. I don't think the logic around this is documented though - or I just didn't manage to find it. Bu you're welcome to peak a bit around in my code for inspiration: https://github.com/skybrud/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/blob/v14/main/src/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/wwwroot/EntryPoint.js#L9-L12 https://github.com/skybrud/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/blob/v14/main/src/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/wwwroot/RedirectsAuth.js https://github.com/skybrud/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/blob/v14/main/src/Skybrud.Umbraco.Redirects/wwwroot/RedirectsService.js It is however worth mentioning that (at least for now) I have opted to use Vanilla JS, although Umbraco recommends using TypeScript. So there might be better examples out there somewhere.

thought so, ok thanks so much man! ill have to come back to this message as i have to move onto a different task 🙄 then come back to this. Thanks so much for the very detailed response! and to look at your code 🙂

How solved?
