NodeJS Request Bearer

Question

I can't seem to get a proper response using the request package with node. I have tried several different placements according to the documentation on npm but keep getting the same result.

"Invalid Access Token 401"

I've asked around the forums and they ensure me that the token I'm using is correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

const restify = require('restify');
const request = require('request');

var server = restify.createServer();
server.listen(process.env.port || process.env.PORT || 3978, () => {
   console.log('%s listening to %s', server.name, server.url);
});


var options = {
  url: 'https://css.api.hp.com/productWarranty/v1/queries',
  json: true,
  method: 'POST',
  Authorization: 'Bearer MYAUTHORIZATIONKEY',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Accept': 'text/plain',
  }
};

var callback = (error, response, body) => {
  console.log(body);
  console.log(response.statusCode);
}

request(options, callback);

Answer 1

the authorization element should be in the headers object. Like this:

var options = {
  url: '<your url>',
  method: 'POST',
  json: requestBody,
  headers: {
    'User-Agent': 'my request',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer <your token>',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Accept': 'application/json'
  }
};

Please give that a try.
