retrieve token api call with content type x-www-form-urlencoded

AOSulli — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 11:35:49 GMT

hello,

i am trying to retrieve a bearer token using the web activity in febaric pipelines.

the content type is - x-www-form-urlencoded

how do i put in the body details?

grant_type =
client_id =
client_secret =

i called it in thundercloud client in visual studio code and it worked fine. as i populated the above details in Form Encoded.

when i simply put in the details like this i am getting HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error

[
grant_type = "xxxxxx",
client_id = xxxxxx,
client_secret = xxxxxxxx
]

thanks!

Thanks for using Fabric Community,

Inorder to understand how to use client_id and client_secret in your case, please follow below screenshot -

1. Connection - Add your base URL here.
2. Relative URL - Add your relative URL here.
3. Body (Main point) - Can add your client_id and client_secret here in json format

{ "grant_type":"client_credentials", "client_id":"abcdefg", "client_secret":"123ghy456" }

Hello - this doesnt work - i get - HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error

however when i use -

content type - application/x-www-form-urlencoded

and in the body i put

grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=<encoded client id>&client_secret=<encoded client secret>

then it works.

What did you use for "encoded" client id. I'm passing my client id and secret and it's not working. I get the error {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"no client credentials user enabled"}
