I have a requirement to get data from a
secure API. It requires a certificate in the DCM, which I have
set up. Then I have to make 2 calls.
The first one is a POST and you use basic
authentication to pass a UserID and password to get back a
token in the response body. This is working with this code:
//
Open persistent connection
pComm
=
http_persist_open(URL);
//
Set credentials
http_setauth(HTTP_AUTH_BASIC:
username:
passwd);
//
use the certificate in the DCM
app_id
=
'ADP_APPLICATION';
rc
=
https_init(app_id);
if
rc
=
-1;
http_comp(http_error());
https_cleanup();
return;
endif;
response
=
http_string('POST':
URL:
postdata:
'application/json')
;
I am able to extract the token from the
Response variable. The problem is with the second call.
That token is then used in the second request which makes a
GET to return the data stream. However the second request
uses authentication type “Bearer” and I don’t know how to code
for that with HTTPAPI.
I can make it work in Postman by pasting
the token into the header authorization variable with the word
Bearer. I would appreciate any help you can give on how to
pass a bearer token with HTTPAPI. Thanks!
