Re: Getting TIBCO Mashery authorization token using RPGLE

Thank you Buck. I am using Scott's HTTPAPI and YAJL for parsing. I have
seen examples of using http_getauth() and http_setauth(). However, I could
not find any examples to do a POST with BASIC Auth, and logon credentials
in order to get an Authorization token. And then use that token to do a GET
from a REST API.

Any help on this would be useful.

using RPGLE?

I know the following-
1. It has to be a POST request
2. Authorization Type is Basic Auth
3. I have the user name and password
4. Body in raw is:

{
"grant_type":"client_credentials"
}

5. The response is something like this:

{
"tokenType": "xxxxxxxx",
"accessToken": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Scott Klement's HTTPAPI is one way to make this easier.
