How can I send Id and password means basic authentication to below code. I mean where I need to put id/pass in below code? My API needs basic authentication
const https = require('https');
https.get('https://rws322s213.infosys.com/AIAMFG/rest/v1/describe', (resp) => {
let data = '';
resp.on('data', (chunk) => {
data += chunk;
});
resp.on('end', () => {
console.log(JSON.parse(data).explanation);
});
}).on("error", (err) => {
console.log("Error: " + err.message);
});
To request Basic authentication, a client passes a http Authorization header to the server. That header takes the form
Authorization: Basic Base64EncodedCredentials
Therefore, your question is "how to pass a header with a https.get() request?"
It goes in options.headers{} and you can put it there like this:
const encodedCredentials = /* whatever your API requires */
const options = {
headers: {
'Authorization' : 'Basic ' + encodedCredentials
}
}
const getUrl = https://rws322s213.infosys.com/AIAMFG/rest/v1/describe'
https.get (getUrl, options, (resp) => {
/* handle the response here. */
})
const https = require('https');
const httpsAgent = new https.Agent({
rejectUnauthorized: false,
});
// Allow SELF_SIGNED_CERT, aka set rejectUnauthorized: false
let options = {
agent: httpsAgent
}
let address = "10.10.10.1";
let path = "/api/v1/foo";
let url = new URL(`https://${address}${path}`);
url.username = "joe";
url.password = "password123";
let apiCall = new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
var data = '';
https.get(url, options, res => {
res.on('data', function (chunk){ data += chunk })
res.on('end', function () {
resolve(data);
})
}).on('error', function (e) {
reject(e);
});
});
try {
let result = await apiCall;
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
} finally {
console.log('We do cleanup here');
}
