Client is not authorized while inserting objects into collection in a loop

Question

Hi,

We are getting an error randomly saying "Client is not authorized". Below is what we are doing:

1. Getting the json objects from one app in a jsonArray

2. Initialize app42 wtih other app using the correct apiKey and secreKey.

3. Then we have a loop that inserts objects from the jsonArray into a collection.

It works fine for some of the objects so apikey and secretkey are correct, then it randomly gives the exception as given below:

{"app42Fault":{"httpErrorCode":401,"appErrorCode":1401,"message":"UnAuthorized Access","details":"Client is not authorized"}}

Note : We have replay attack protect as DISABLED, still we have the issue. Please help.

Please see the code below:
public static boolean insertObjectsIntoCollection(JSONArray jsonArray, String dbName, String collectionName) throws JSONException, InterruptedException{
        JSONObject jsonObj;
        boolean result = false;

        for (int i = 0; jsonArray != null && i < jsonArray.length(); i++) {
            jsonObj = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
            result = App42Utilities.insertJSONObject(dbName, collectionName, jsonObj);
            if(!result){
                return result;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

AppUtilities.insertJSONDocument just has following code:
try {
            App42Log.setDebug(true);
            storageService.insertJSONDocument(dbName,collectionName,jsonObject);
        } catch (App42Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Not inserted object :: " + jsonObject.getString("title"));
            //e.printStackTrace();
        }

I will post logs in next comment.

Hi Jitesh,

Thanks for sharing this details, but its not complete logs and complete code snippet. Could you please share complete logs like where you initialize App42 instance and where you build service and how? Also, the complete logs of method. Please share with us at support@shephertz.com . It will help us to provide better support to you.

Could you please explain what do you mean by complete log of method and how can i get them? I got the above logs by using App42Log.setDebug(true)

Hi,

Complete logs means the logs which you get at the time of having success in inserting a JSON document. It will help us to debug the issue.

Hi Jitesh,

I'm thinking everyone has this issue.  I just released my game a few days ago and starting receiving this error yesterday when people couldn't get into my game.

Hi User,

The issue which Jitesh is facing is because of non-english character in description,  which can be easily resolved by encoding string into base64 before inserting into JSON document. If you face any other issue related to this then please let me know.  I will be happy to help you!!!.

Hi, thats correct.

Now the problem is we stored the string "Michael Peña" (just an example) without encoding it in to Base64, and it is stored and shown correctly on the dashboard.

But while fetching this object, it doesn't give this value correctly, and thus when we take the object from one collection and try to insert in another, it fails.

And now we have like 22 big json objects that are problematic. Is there an easy way to copy them into destination collection without reinserting them with encoding?
