Get API OAuth token using HTTP Request app
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2025 4:46 pm
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get an API Token using the HTTP request app but I don't have any experience in this area. I have tested the connection and details using Postman and that works fine. I just don't know where to include that info in the HTTP request app. I haven't found any good details for using the app. Apparently they expect the user to have some idea of what they're doing.
(Once I get the token I'll need to use it in a second http request to get info from an API.)
This is what I have in Postman Authorization Settings (actual URL and credentials have been replaced):
- Configure New Token section -
Token Name: bearer
Grant type: Client Credentials
Access Token URL: https://myurl.com/OmsIdentityServer/connect/authorize
Client ID: myclientID
Client Secret: myclientSecret
Scope: myScope
Client Authentication: Send as Basic Auth header
This is what I have in the Switch HTTP request Settings:
URL: https://myurl.com/OmsIdentityServer/connect/authorize
Request Type: GET
Authentication scheme: OAuth
Authorization: client_id=myclientID client_secret=myclientSecret
Parameters:
scope=myScope
Headers:
<none>
Response: Inject as new job
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks as always...
