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

[AOSulli]

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!

Hi @AOSulli ,

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"
}

4. Header: Add Content-Type : application/json

Hope this is helpful. In case of any queries please feel free.

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.
