How to authenticate use while submitting Vat from VB6 application (desktop)

[sdabyrne]

This is probably very late as I note your last post was 12 June and you have probably worked out a solution. However, I like you, am using VB6 and have developed routines for the new HMRC API using Chilkat Software ActiveX components. Not too expensive and very good.

[scottylace]

Thank you for your question, unfortunately we cannot answer this question as it relates to the wider HMRC API Plaform and is not exclusive to the MTD Self Assessment and VAT APIs.

Could you please send your question to this email address [email protected] and your question will be dealt with.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

[philipburrell]

Have you found a solution for this?

[thakurankesh]

No, I emailed team but did not get any answer yet

[markogrady]

You would have to have an interim web solution. Your product would call it which auths it . If you need to discuss it send me your contact details.

Thanks markogrady , interim web solution can be an option but I think this will cause extra work around.

yes, i want to discuss it with you, my contact details - [email protected]

You need to set the redirect url to either:
"urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob" or "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:auto"
As mentioned here:
https://developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/api-documentation/docs/authorisation/user-restricted-endpoints

[philipburrell]

Tried that a get an html page with <title>Sorry, we are experiencing technical difficulties - 500</title>
c# code (Using RestSharp)
string url = "https://test-api.service.hmrc.gov.uk";
string client_id = "_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
string redirectUri = "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob";
var restclient = new RestClient(url);
RestRequest request = new RestRequest("oauth/authorize") { Method = Method.GET };
request.AddParameter("response_type", "code");
request.AddParameter("client_id", client_id);
request.AddParameter("scope", "hello");
request.AddParameter("redirect_uri", redirectUri);

Authorisation is down at the moment - Was working earlier today

[thakurankesh]

Thanks, I tired using urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob:auto but it saying redirect_url invalid.

[CoppensBart]

@thakurankesh ,
you also need to add that redirect url to the "Redirect URI" allowed on your application details page on:
https://developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/developer/applications

[thakurankesh]

Thanks @CoppensBart . Just to confirm one thing, will it ask for login after API call is complete?
If thats true, how can we submit Vat without asking for login details from our VB6 app

[mathiasbanda]

@thakurankesh
Follow @CoppensBart advice. Think of the refreshtoken as your as your apps login details

[andyjmcfarlane]

Does anybody have sample code for the calling of the VAT submit API in VB6?

[Chris-Manchester]

I am looking at developing VB6 code for HMRC API. I have done some web interaction programs and also routines for the Government Gateway for VAT and Payroll. It would be nice to talk to other developers to prevent us all having to reinvent the wheel. I can see there being a lot of additional work being neeed in the future if HMRC has their way.

[mathiasbanda]

Ask @scottylace nicely for advice on the ready made OAuth2-enabled com component
