I am using ESP8266 programmed from Arduino to get data from the Google Youtube API. API, of course, works great in a browser using URL:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=CHANNEL-ID&key=GOOGLE-API-KEY
The problem is that "gooogleapis.com" is not the location where from I would receive the answer to my HTTPS request, it comes from a different location. When above URL is entered, it is being redirected and request answer comes from another location.
So what happens on ESP8266 when I try to open that address(of course, with added proper channel ID and google key) is following:

<p><b>404.</b> <ins>That’s an error.</ins>
<p>The requested URL <code>/youtube/v3/channels</code> was not found on this server. <ins>That���s all we know.</ins>
Done.
Which is the Google error page(you seen it!). This is my Arduino code:
#include "ESP8266WiFi.h"
#include <WiFiClientSecure.h>
const char* ssid = "SSID"; // WiFi network name
const char* password = "pass"; // WiFi pass
const char* host = "googleapis.com"; // page I am trying to load
const char* fingerprint = "22 37 4D 58 43 F4 A1 24 12 71 2B 74 7A FC 36 FC 24 A0 F0 9D";
String ch_id = "CHANNEL ID";
String api_key = "API KEY";
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(10);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println("Connected to WiFi! Local IP address is: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
WiFiClientSecure client;
if (!client.connect(host, 443))
{
Serial.println("I am unable to connect to that page.");
return;
}
if (client.verify(fingerprint, host)) {
Serial.println("certificate OK");
} else {
Serial.println("certificate NOT OK");
}
String url = "/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=" + ch_id + "&key=" + api_key;
client.print(String("GET ") + url + " HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
"Host: " + host + "\r\n" +
"Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
delay(10);
while (client.available()) {
String linija = client.readStringUntil('\r');
Serial.print(linija);
}
Serial.println("Done.");
}
void loop() {
}
- How to find out to which site I am redirected?
- How to read that from ESP8266 and redirect the same data to new site?

1404 is not a redirect. You should get a 302 or 301. In that case there will also be a Location: header that contains the new URL.Gerben– Gerben2017年03月12日 15:53:36 +00:00Commented Mar 12, 2017 at 15:53
1 Answer 1
In your browser you used www.googleapis.com, but in your code you used googleapis.com.
https://googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=CHANNEL-ID&key=GOOGLE-API-KEY
returns a 404 page.
Add www. to your host in code.

Perfect! Can't believe I missed something so trivial. Thank you very much - works now.davaradijator– davaradijator2017年03月13日 13:46:06 +00:00Commented Mar 13, 2017 at 13:46
