My HMAC generation code.

    String test = "pnrjson6b17f33e25e2d8197462d1c6bcb0b130";
    try {
        Mac mac = Mac.getInstance("HmacSHA1");
        SecretKeySpec secret = new SecretKeySpec(mykey.getBytes(),
                "HmacSHA1");
        mac.init(secret);
        byte[] digest = mac.doFinal(test.getBytes());
        for (byte b : digest) {
            System.out.format("%02x", b);
        }
        System.out.println();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }

My new API URL values..

http://pnrbuddy.com/api/check_pnr/pnr/1234567890/format/json/pbapikey/6b17f33e25e2d8197462d1c6bcb0b130/pbapisign/ebb4279d9b8cc3e011a7d7a46248c4ac456a6ca3

Still i am getting same authorization error. Why?

Here is my client side code.

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("#click").click(function () {

                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "http://pnrbuddy.com/api/check_pnr/pnr/1234567890/format/json/pbapikey/6b17f33e25e2d8197462d1c6bcb0b130/pbapisign/8dd7f570509ab9b7d27cc182982d49ca63fb45d6",
                    contentType: "application/json",
                    async: false,
                    success: function (data) {
                        $("#response").html(data.d);
                    }

                });
            });
        });
    </script>

Firstly I think you need to register as a developer in pnrbuddy(steps are in my comments). You need to use your own keys to access the api.

And then refer this: http://pnrbuddy.com/hauth/api?page=keys
