REST Resource with Custom API

[dsarajlic]

Hello Squiz,

I have got a situation where I’m trying to use an API which has a client_id and client_secret. I have made sure that they are correct by testing within Postman (I am getting back a result). In the past, I have placed my Basic Auth within the Response Headers and it has worked successfully.

In this instance however, I have No Auth (as noted within Postman), however I do have a client_id/client_secret with accomodating value. I have tried a few different methods so far, which includes each of those values on a line in the Response Headers.

Example below:

Any help would be fantastic,

Thanks

Hey Damir,
Not sure what the actual issue is? Can you give us some more info on the API you are connecting to and what is required?

Hey Bart,
Thanks for the reply, my question was, how would I go about using the client_id/client_secret within a REST resource. After much dabbling, I have resolved it however. It was a case of missing colons, between the client_id/client_secret and their accomodating values.

It was a tad confusing as Postman (and every other app which interacts with API’s) has the Authorisation and Headers separated. Having only used these headers for Basic Auth in the past, I thought it was primarily for declaring Authorisation.

eg.

Cheers,
