problem to configure public key on google audit email api

Question

I need a help! I'm trying to use the google auditing API (https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/email-audit) Im getting a problem to configure the public key on API (https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/email-audit/auth#example), receiving the following error:

The value of attribute "value" associated with an element type "apps:property" must not contain the
'<' character.

Im following the documentation payload:

<atom:entry xmlns:atom='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:apps='http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006'>
<apps:property name="publicKey" value="<em>my public key in base64 here</em>"/>
</atom:entry>

One example of public key that i generated and encoded on base64:

If you check on base64 decode for example, you can see that its a complete public key... Any idea? Thank you!

Answer 1

The error message points that there is a non valid character being passed on the "value" attribute, in this case the <> characters are non valid within the value field, checking your example you are adding it like this:

<apps:property name="publicKey" value="<em>my public key in base64 here</em>"/>

Where the "value=<em>my public key in base64 here</em>" is being passed with the "<>" characters, even though the documentation states that "<em>" and "</em>" is passed you can still just remove the tags and add the public key without them like this:

<apps:property name="publicKey" value="my public key in base64 here"/>
