Environment :

iVend 6.6

Problem Statement :

Product Query

Resolution/Work Around :

The hardcoded API token is for mobile user. Need to add "UserName", "Password" with values to request Header.

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/xml"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("username", "APIUSER");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("password", "APIPASSWORD");
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(endPoint);
