I'm trying to use the generate endpoint to create backup codes for a user. Once every ~200 requests, I receive an empty return, with no notification of failure.

Has anyone seen this in the past? is there a workaround here?
Thanks!

This is sort of an extension of this question here. I have a policy that calls a REST API. The API returns an error message and this message needs to be localized.
One way is to of course get the API to return a localized message, but is there a way for the CustomPolicy itself to localize the error code? According to the CustomPolicy Docs, a REST API can send an error code along with the Conflict error code. Our thinking was to use this error code as a key and select a localized message (from the messageValue enum mentioned in the answer in the link).
However, we can't seem to capture/handle the error data returned by the API. The Policy seems to handle error codes by itself and we would like to know if it is possible to inject localized exception/error messages from the policy itself.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: A little more information about the setup. We have a TechnicalProfile that has a DisplayWidget and a ValidationTechnicalProfile. The DisplayWidget is used for entering & verifying the user's phone/email and the ValidationTechnicalProfile makes the final call to the RestAPI with all the user's information to register him/her. This RestAPI call output is what we want to localize.
The suggestion in the linked SO question, from what I understand, is that we integrate another DisplayClaim (that references an enum) in the DisplayWidget, and depending on the ErrorCode returned by the call, change it to display the appropriate code. However, as per my understanding, this would also require editing the API to return only 200 along with a code. This code would indicate the true nature of the result - success or a code for one of the enums to be displayed.
Our aim therefore is to check if there is a way to follow the Policy's flow (disrupt the SignUp/SignIn process) but at the same time localize the API's displayed response.
We managed to find a workaround to this, so I'm posting this here for anyone else who might be interested in this.
Our restriction for localizations was the fact that used Phrase to manage our translations and wanted the CustomPolicy specific translations all in one place. Our CD workflow was as follows:
PolicyCommit -> Build Variable Replacement through PS -> Release Variable Replacement and localized strings replacement through PS & Policy Uploads
Barring the policy from localizing the APIs response, we had the following options to achieve this:
Sending the language to the API and having the API return the appropriate error message
in the appropriate language. We were reluctant to follow this because of a multitude of reasons, but mostly because we would also have to handle different regions, etc. in the API - something the policy does by itself.
We actually had only one API that we called, and also only two error messages that were used. Hence we created an enum with the two error messages that would be localized. We then used a chain of InputClaimsTransformations that did the following:
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for all the errors
1. CreateStringClaim (Create ClaimTypes for each of the error codes, holding the index of the error code in the enum)
2. GetMappedValueFromLocalizedCollection (Make the localized enum choose and hold the value of the required error code)
3. AddItemToStringCollection (Add the localized error from the enum to a StringCollection)
4. GenerateJson (Add the error codes StringCollection to the JSON payload to be sent to the API)
This way, the policy performed the localization for all the errors and we sent them along with the request to the API. The API, when an error occurred, picked one of the error messages from the policy and sent it back. This method was for us, because of our CD structure and Phrase integration, much easier than actually having the translations in a file hosted on the cloud to be accessed by the API.
Hope this helps someone; I can also add code in case someone needs it :)
Currently, we are using one Gmail API to receive MFA through Email. We are using this in automated tests to read to code.Until yesterday we are receiving emails in seconds and we are able to read the code. But starting from today there is some delay in receiving an Email and sometimes the email is not been received.
Is there any way to check these logs? Can anyone help with this?
Well, if you experienced some delay, based on this documentation there can be a delay of several minutes if the user exceeds their quota. You can also try to use the Users.messages: get to get the specific message and check if it has some delay in receiving.
I found here a related SO question about your problem. So just check it if it can help you. It uses IMAP for this issue.
I am using the Gmail API to put messages into a Google Apps email account. I use
the OAuth 2.0 authentication protocol with a service account. This is more or
less working fine. One of our customers has asked us to put messages
directly into a Google Vault. I don't see a Vault API, but I did find this
information related to the "insert" method (which is what we use to add
messages to a normal account):
parameter "deleted" (boolean): Mark the email as permanently deleted
(not TRASH) and only visible in Google Apps Vault to a Vault administrator.
Only used for Google Apps for Work accounts.
When I do this, some messages are accepted, but frequently I get http error
500 in response to the POST. The error text says "Backend Error". I thought
the pattern was that the first time the message was posted, it would work,
but the second time would generate the error. Therefore I was thinking it
was a duplicate check issue. However I now see some examples of messages
that fail immediately. The POST url looks like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/upload/gmail/v1/users/user#domain.com/messages?uploadType=multipart&internalDateSource=dateHeader&deleted=true&access_token=ABC...
As I mentioned, the same message to the same url (without deleted=true) will
always work. Any ideas what is causing the error?
Was just fighting this issue myself. Apparently the error has something to do if the message is compatible with the Google vault retention policies:
If I turn on a default policy of "Retain everything" then I've been able to get the messages to import correctly. HTH!
I'm using the import api method and the backendError seems to be related to filters/policies. For example we asked Google to reject messages with xls and macros and we get the error on mail with that kind of attachment
i'm using google api for gmail. All is working fine, i was able to connect, list and get message / thread, browse every elements of a thread etc...
I want to be able to retrieve a reply without the original message, is it somehow doable ?
I think that every email software will put together a different constructed reply message with the original message included but maybe there's a way to retrieve only the reply.
Thanks for any hint that will allow me to do such thing.
It appears the consensus is that this is not possible, and that the message/thread must be parsed manually with your program.
I'm trying to set up the email receiver found here, to process incoming emails and send them out as POST data to a script on my server to be handled further from there. The issue I'm having is when I send one test email to foo#[myappname].appspotmail.com, the App Engine logs show that the email is continually "received" over and over again every couple of minutes, even though I only sent it once. Then after several minutes of this, when I go into settings and disable the app, I get at least one "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently" message to the email account I was sending the emails from (makes sense, since the app is now disabled and not accepting any incoming mail).
What I'm having trouble understanding is why the application is behaving like it's getting multiple emails sent to it when it's only one. Do I need to modify the Python script to do something to delete or halt the email once it's been processed the first time? If so, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to do that? The Python script that I'm using is found here.
User voscausa answered my question-- the email requests kept retrying because the script was erroring. Thanks!
