Trying to implement a WebAPI through DNN7 but it turned out not to be to easy. The work if I use the [AllowAnonymous] or no decorations at all (logged in as Host) but if I start to decorate my controllers/methods with stuff like [SupportedModules("ExploreSettings")] it never seem to work. In fact, it doesn't even work with the sample provided by Scott Schlesier here:

http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-blog/cid/145174/services-framework-with-meat

No matter if I am logged in as host standing on a page with the ExploreSettings on it I will still get authentication error and am being asked for credentials. I've tried to amp up the loggin in log4net but can't really find anything useful there (log below). Any ideas? Routes etc should be fine as they do work with  [AllowAnonymous]

Are there some actual documentation regarding the Service Framework or is a few year old blog posts all there is?

Also, how are we supposed to send ModuleId and TabId in the request to the Service Framework / WebAPI? Is it supposed to handle itself when logged in to a DNN portal? I notice that when logged in the user info seem to be sent along by default, so that I can only access the WebAPI when logged in, but what I can see nothing with regards to ModuleId or TabId is send along except for LastPageId which could be TabId but not sure?

Also noted that, a bit strange, my routes, despite working (sometimes) does not show up as being mapped in the log:

Hi Patrick.

For all WebAPI requests that are decorated by [DnnAuthorize] and etc..
Each request must contain following headers: ModuleId, TabId, RequestVerificationToken

JavaScript example:
var _sf = $.ServicesFramework(YourModuleID);
var req = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://dnn7.improwise.local/DesktopModules/ExploreSettings/API/Settings/HostSettings',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'ModuleId': _sf.getModuleId(), //current module id
'TabId': _sf.getTabId(), //current module tab id
'RequestVerificationToken': _sf.getAntiForgeryValue(), 
}
};

Thank you Barry for responding. It's a bit stupid that the only link that seem to contain relevant information about this is marked with "This has now been superceded by a WebAPI implementation in DotNetNuke 7.0.0" which at least made me not read any further and thus missing out on important information therein. 

Are the authentication stuff the same from the old now depreciated MVC version, ie that most info in the first link are still relevant? 

How are the combination of TabId and ModuleId used, are both required all the time?

You can also let the setModuleHeaders function of the ServicesFramework to set the headers for you:

 

self.getIndividualsInPositions = function (pageNumber, pageSize, positionList) {
            self.LoadingData(true);
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                cache: false,
                url: baseServicepath + "GetIndividualsInPositions",
                beforeSend: _sf.setModuleHeaders,
                data: {
                    PositionList: positionList,
                    WhereClause: self.WhereClauseFilter(),
                    OnlyIncludedInDirectory: !self.TabState[3].IncludeNotInDirectory(),
                    PageIndex: pageNumber - 1,
                    PageSize: pageSize
                }
            }).done(function (result) { . . .

 

 

In your services controller methods, the ModuleID, TabID, PortalID, etc.  will be available on the ActiveModule object.

 

As for the SupportedModules attribute, I initially had the same problems with this until I realized that the value should be the name of the project's DesktopModules folder, not the project's namespace:

 

// Path is DesktopModules/WESNet_FamilyDirectory/API/FamilyDirectoryServices/{action}
    [SupportedModules("WESNet_FamilyDirectory")]
    [DnnModuleAuthorize(AccessLevel = SecurityAccessLevel.View)]
    public class FamilyDirectoryServicesController : DnnApiController
    {
