Introduction

This page is to just keep usage of curl for getting data

Getting Access Tokens

export OAUTH_HOST=
export TENANT_ID=
export CLIENT_ID=
export CLIENT_SECRET=
export SCOPE=

export DATA_FILE=

Here is how to get an Access Token

export AUTHORIZATION_JSON=$(curl --location --request POST "${OAUTH_HOST}/${TENANT_ID}/oauth2/v2.0/token" \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
    --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
    --data-urlencode "client_id=${CLIENT_ID}" \
    --data-urlencode "client_secret=${CLIENT_SECRET}" \
    --data-urlencode "scope=${SCOPE}")

The extract the BEARER token

export BEARER_TOKEN=`jq --raw-output '.access_token' <<< "${AUTHORIZATION_JSON}"`

Getting Data

You can then get data with

curl -k   --location --request GET \
"https://api.mysite.com/${TENANT_ID}/${ENVIRONMENT}/someendpoint" \
 --header "Accept: application/json" \    
 --header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

 "https://api.mysite.com/${TENANT_ID}/${ENVIRONMENT}/someendpoint" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header "Accept: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}" \
  --data @"${DATA_FILE}"
