API Header authorization for Bright Pattern

Question

I have issue with posting an API header to Bright Pattern out of Developer Console using a workspace. below is the Code and when I send it I get an error:

Execute Anonymous Error on line 6 column:19 Unexpected token '('

It looks like there is an Problem with the opening bracket after the request.setHeader. However, it looks okay to me.

Http http = new Http();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setEndpoint('https://sprout.brightpattern.com/clientweb/api/v1/chats?tenantUrl=sprout.brightpattern.com&timestamp=1538601898');
request.setMethod('POST');
// Set Header for the Authorization 
request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8';
  'Authorization: MOBILE-API-140-327-PLAIN'+ appId=9aeb0234a + clientId=WebChat);
// Set the body as a JSON object
request.setBody('{"LeadId":"00QM000000FL93tMAD"}');
// Parse the JSON response
HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
if (response.getStatusCode() != 201) {
    System.debug('The status code returned was not expected: ' +
        response.getStatusCode() + ' ' + response.getStatus());
} else {
    System.debug(response.getBody());
}

Answer 1

You seem to have couple of issues here those need to be corrected:

1. Starting with this:

   request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8';
   

   Needs to be

   request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json;charset=UTF-8');
   

2. Then, not sure what is the appId=<> portion, but there seems to be something missing here too. I would imagine everything here should be part of the string itself and should be set in the header separately.

   'Authorization: MOBILE-API-140-327-PLAIN'+ appId=<>+ clientId=WebChat);
   

   Should be something as below:

   request.setHeader('Authorization: MOBILE-API-140-327-PLAIN everything else goes here');
   

3. Then further below,

   request.setBody('{"LeadId":"00QM000000FL93tMAD"}');
   

   Should be as:

   request.setBody('{\"LeadId\":\"00QM000000FL93tMAD\"}');
