I am trying to fetch records from a scratch org using the tooling API provided by salesforce and user access token. Lets say
accesstoken = "abcd"
url = "https://example.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v49.0/tooling/query?q=SELECT+Id,Name+FROM+Account"
I have used axios node module to make the API call as given below
const options = {
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + accessToken,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
};
axios.get(url, options).then(response => {
console.log(response.status);
if(response.status == 200){
console.log(response.data);
} else {
//do something else
}
});
The call responds with a status 200 i.e the request provided a response. But instead of correct records from Account object, I get the login html page
' Login | Salesforcehtml{visibility:
hidden;}a{color:#0070d2;}body{background-color:#F4F6F9;}#content,.container{background-color:#ffffff;}#header{color:#16325c;}body{display:

{document.documentElement.style.visibility = 'visible';} else
{document.write = ''; top.location = self.location;
setTimeout(function(){document.body.innerHTML='';},
1);window.self.onload=function(evt){document.body.innerHTML='';};}var

Does anyone know what am I missing in here? According to salesforce documentation
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/dome_query.htm
the accessToken in the header should be enough to make the API call.
Note: I gained the access token by running
sfdx force:user:display -u <username>
Your query is wrong. You selected Tooling API service which is for metadata (info about classes, triggers, objects, fields, deployments, running unit tests...). If you want to query Accounts - that's normal data. Try just /services/data/v49.0/query?q=SELECT+Id,Name+FROM+Account
I don't think you need Content-Type header in there. You don't POST anything. At best you can send Accept (application/json, application/xml)
Are you sure the session id was valid? As in you could go to the org, Setup -> Session management, see it there? Or in the user's login history?
It might be that your SF admin did something nasty like locking sessions down to IP from which they originated or maybe the user doesn't have API access... See if you can create your call in Workbench -> Utilities -> REST Explorer first, then go back to Axios?
I've been given access to an okta token endpoint. I would like to use this service to request a token. I was given a url, client id, client secret, scope and grant type. I can use postman to make a POST call to the url (/v1/token) and pass the above info (client id, client secret, scope and grant type) and I get an access token back.
I can easily make this call in java with RestTemplate or equivalent, but I would like to use an API that would manage the token for me.
I've found JJWT. All the examples I see out there show me how to create a JWT using JJWT. What I would like to do is to get my access token, but I'm not sure how to do that. I mean i get that JJWT is an API to create JWT, but then how can I use the JWT to get my access token?
Any help/clarification/direction is much appreciated.
We using JWT with the node.js, to create new Token jwt.sign(data, key) takes at least to an argument, the fist must be some credential like userId, email..., the second will be key to verify later. to verify the token is it valid we use jwt.verify(), the first argument is token (where the jwt.sing() give you) and the second is the key (where you provide when creating);
example:
Creating JWT token:
var jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
cosnt token = jwt.sign({ email: 'test#test.com', userId: '993333' }, 'secretkey');
verifying Token:
try {
const decodedToken = jwt.verify(token, 'secretkey');
}
catch(err) {
throw new Error(err)
}
// once verified
conosole.log(decodedToken)
I found this post how to create and verify token using java, thanks!
I'm trying to use postman to do REST API calls to firebase. I've managed to read from firebase when my security rule is to permit all users including unauthorized ones.
but when I use this rule :
{"rules":{".read": "auth != null", ".write": "auth != null"}}
I get 'error' : 'permission denied' from postman.
I did the request token for google's web oauth2.0 client and got the authorization_code token back.
I tried to use token in the URL and in the header, tried it with GET & POST request and still get denied.
please help.
Thanks in advance
The answers above did not work for me.
What did work for me was going to
Project Settings (top left corner gear) -> Service Accounts (far right tab) -> Database Secrets (left menu) -> Scroll down, hover over the bulltets and click Show
Use this as the auth key, i.e. .../mycollection.json?auth=HERE
For me it worked like this:
https://your-database-url/users.json?auth=YOUR_AUTH_KEY
Where can you get this AUTH_KEY?
you get this key from your Project Settings -> Database -> Secret Key
Try something like this
https://your-database-url/users.json?auth=YOUR_AUTH_KEY
Respone is a JSON of your USERS node
I created a Postman pre-request script for helping create a Authentication: Bearer JWT. Should save a lot of copy pasting when testing APIs with Firebase Auth. https://gist.github.com/moneal/af2d988a770c3957df11e3360af62635
Copy of script at time of posting:
/**
* This script expects the global variables 'refresh_token' and 'firebase_api_key' to be set. 'firebase_api_key' can be found
* in the Firebase console under project settings then 'Web API Key'.
* 'refresh_token' as to be gathered from watching the network requests to https://securetoken.googleapis.com/v1/token from
* your Firebase app, look for the formdata values
*
* If all the data is found it makes a request to get a new token and sets a 'auth_jwt' environment variable and updates the
* global 'refresh_token'.
*
* Requests that need authentication should have a header with a key of 'Authentication' and value of '{{auth_jwt}}'
*
* Currently the nested assertions silently fail, I don't know why.

Best way to make it work with Postman is to use Google OAuth2 access tokens. The provided link described in full length but I have added quick steps.
Step 1: Download Service-Accounts.json
Step 2: Generate Access token in Java (provided link described support in other language for this)
make sure to include this dependency:
implementation 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.25.0'
OR
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.api-client</groupId>
<artifactId>google-api-client</artifactId>
<version>1.25.0</version>
</dependency>
Run this code to generate token(Copied from google's javadocs)
// Load the service account key JSON file
FileInputStream serviceAccount = new FileInputStream("path/to/serviceAccountKey.json");
GoogleCredential scoped = GoogleCredential
.fromStream(serviceAccount)
.createScoped(
Arrays.asList(
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase.database",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email"
)
);
// Use the Google credential to generate an access token
scoped.refreshToken();
String token = scoped.getAccessToken();
System.out.println(token);
Step 3: Use the token in Postman
It is very simple to fetch data via Postman:
Here is how I did it
1 Your DB URL
https://YOUR_PROJECT_URL.firebaseio.com/YOUR_STRUCTURE/CLASS.json
2 Add API key in header as auth
auth = Value of your API_KEY
example:
We can use Firebase with postman for rest APIs
How we use Firebase in postman?
Copy your Firebase database URL
Paste it into your postman URL
Add .json at the last like shown in the image
Then play with your firebase database and make REST API
I want to get the access token from Google. The Google API says that to get the access token, send the code and other parameters to token generating page, and the response will be a JSON Object like :
{
"access_token" : "ya29.AHES6ZTtm7SuokEB-RGtbBty9IIlNiP9-eNMMQKtXdMP3sfjL1Fc",
"token_type" : "Bearer",
"expires_in" : 3600,
"refresh_token" : "1/HKSmLFXzqP0leUihZp2xUt3-5wkU7Gmu2Os_eBnzw74"
}
However, I'm not receiving the refresh token. The response in my case is:
{
"access_token" : "ya29.sddsdsdsdsds_h9v_nF0IR7XcwDK8XFB2EbvtxmgvB-4oZ8oU",
"token_type" : "Bearer",
"expires_in" : 3600
}
The refresh_token is only provided on the first authorization from the user. Subsequent authorizations, such as the kind you make while testing an OAuth2 integration, will not return the refresh_token again. :)
Go to the page showing Apps with access to your account:
https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/permissions.
Under the Third-party apps menu, choose your app.
Click Remove access and then click Ok to confirm
The next OAuth2 request you make will return a refresh_token (providing that it also includes the 'access_type=offline' query parameter.
Alternatively, you can add the query parameters prompt=consent&access_type=offline to the OAuth redirect (see Google's OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications page).
This will prompt the user to authorize the application again and will always return a refresh_token.
In order to get the refresh token you have to add both approval_prompt=force and access_type="offline"
If you are using the java client provided by Google it will look like this:
GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow flow = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(
HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY, getClientSecrets(), scopes)
.build();
AuthorizationCodeRequestUrl authorizationUrl =
flow.newAuthorizationUrl().setRedirectUri(callBackUrl)
.setApprovalPrompt("force")
.setAccessType("offline");
I'd like to add a bit more info on this subject for those frustrated souls who encounter this issue. The key to getting a refresh token for an offline app is to make sure you are presenting the consent screen. The refresh_token is only returned immediately after a user grants authorization by clicking "Allow".
The issue came up for me (and I suspect many others) after I'd been doing some testing in a development environment and therefore already authorized my application on a given account. I then moved to production and attempted to authenticate again using an account which was already authorized. In this case, the consent screen will not come up again and the api will not return a new refresh token. To make this work, you must force the consent screen to appear again by either:
prompt=consent
or
approval_prompt=force
Either one will work but you should not use both. As of 2021, I'd recommend using prompt=consent since it replaces the older parameter approval_prompt and in some api versions, the latter was actually broken (https://github.com/googleapis/oauth2client/issues/453). Also, prompt is a space delimited list so you can set it as prompt=select_account%20consent if you want both.
Of course you also need:
access_type=offline
Additional reading:
Docs: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#request-parameter-prompt
Docs: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/openid-connect#re-consent
Discussion about this issue: https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client/issues/213
I searched a long night and this is doing the trick:
Modified user-example.php from admin-sdk
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setApprovalPrompt('force');
$authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
echo "<a class='login' href='" . $authUrl . "'>Connect Me!</a>";
then you get the code at the redirect url
and the authenticating with the code and getting the refresh token
$client()->authenticate($_GET['code']);
echo $client()->getRefreshToken();
You should store it now ;)
When your accesskey times out just do
$client->refreshToken($theRefreshTokenYouHadStored);
This has caused me some confusion so I thought I'd share what I've come to learn the hard way:
When you request access using the access_type=offline and approval_prompt=force parameters you should receive both an access token and a refresh token. The access token expires soon after you receive it and you will need to refresh it.
You correctly made the request to get a new access token and received the response that has your new access token. I was also confused by the fact that I didn't get a new refresh token. However, this is how it is meant to be since you can use the same refresh token over and over again.
I think some of the other answers assume that you wanted to get yourself a new refresh token for some reason and sugggested that you re-authorize the user but in actual fact, you don't need to since the refresh token you have will work until revoked by the user.
Rich Sutton's answer finally worked for me, after I realized that adding access_type=offline is done on the front end client's request for an authorization code, not the back end request that exchanges that code for an access_token. I've added a comment to his answer and this link at Google for more info about refreshing tokens.
P.S. If you are using Satellizer, here is how to add that option to the $authProvider.google in AngularJS.
In order to get the refresh_token you need to include access_type=offline in the OAuth request URL. When a user authenticates for the first time you will get back a non-nil refresh_token as well as an access_token that expires.
If you have a situation where a user might re-authenticate an account you already have an authentication token for (like #SsjCosty mentions above), you need to get back information from Google on which account the token is for. To do that, add profile to your scopes. Using the OAuth2 Ruby gem, your final request might look something like this:
client = OAuth2::Client.new(
ENV["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
ENV["GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
authorize_url: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
token_url: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"
)
# Configure authorization url
client.authorize_url(
scope: "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/analytics.readonly profile",
redirect_uri: callback_url,
access_type: "offline",
prompt: "select_account"
)
Note the scope has two space-delimited entries, one for read-only access to Google Analytics, and the other is just profile, which is an OpenID Connect standard.
This will result in Google providing an additional attribute called id_token in the get_token response. To get information out of the id_token, check out this page in the Google docs. There are a handful of Google-provided libraries that will validate and “decode” this for you (I used the Ruby google-id-token gem). Once you get it parsed, the sub parameter is effectively the unique Google account ID.
Worth noting, if you change the scope, you'll get back a refresh token again for users that have already authenticated with the original scope. This is useful if, say, you have a bunch of users already and don't want to make them all un-auth the app in Google.
Oh, and one final note: you don't need prompt=select_account, but it's useful if you have a situation where your users might want to authenticate with more than one Google account (i.e., you're not using this for sign-in / authentication).
1. How to get 'refresh_token' ?
Solution: access_type='offline' option should be used when generating authURL.
source : Using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications
2. But even with 'access_type=offline', I am not getting the 'refresh_token' ?
Solution: Please note that you will get it only on the first request, so if you are storing it somewhere and there is a provision to overwrite this in your code when getting new access_token after previous expires, then make sure not to overwrite this value.
From Google Auth Doc : (this value = access_type)
This value instructs the Google authorization server to return a
refresh token and an access token the first time that your application
exchanges an authorization code for tokens.
If you need 'refresh_token' again, then you need to remove access for your app as by following the steps written in Rich Sutton's answer.
I'm using nodejs client for access to private data
The solution was add the promp property with value consent to the settings object in oAuth2Client.generateAuthUrl function.
Here is my code:
const getNewToken = (oAuth2Client, callback) => {
const authUrl = oAuth2Client.generateAuthUrl({
access_type: 'offline',
prompt: 'consent',
scope: SCOPES,
})
console.log('Authorize this app by visiting this url:', authUrl)
const rl = readline.createInterface({
input: process.stdin,
output: process.stdout,
})
rl.question('Enter the code from that page here: ', (code) => {
rl.close()
oAuth2Client.getToken(code, (err, token) => {
if (err) return console.error('Error while trying to retrieve access token', err)
oAuth2Client.setCredentials(token)
// Store the token to disk for later program executions
fs.writeFile(TOKEN_PATH, JSON.stringify(token), (err) => {
if (err) return console.error(err)
console.log('Token stored to', TOKEN_PATH)
})
callback(oAuth2Client)
})
})
}
You can use the online parameters extractor to get the code for generate your token:
Online parameters extractor
Here is the complete code from google official docs:
https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/nodejs
I hope the information is useful
Setting this will cause the refresh token to be sent every time:
$client->setApprovalPrompt('force');
an example is given below (php):
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setClientId($client_id);
$client->setClientSecret($client_secret);
$client->setRedirectUri($redirect_uri);
$client->addScope("email");
$client->addScope("profile");
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setApprovalPrompt('force');
For me I was trying out CalendarSampleServlet provided by Google. After 1 hour the access_key times out and there is a redirect to a 401 page. I tried all the above options but they didn't work. Finally upon checking the source code for 'AbstractAuthorizationCodeServlet', I could see that redirection would be disabled if credentials are present, but ideally it should have checked for refresh token!=null. I added below code to CalendarSampleServlet and it worked after that. Great relief after so many hours of frustration . Thank God.
if (credential.getRefreshToken() == null) {
AuthorizationCodeRequestUrl authorizationUrl = authFlow.newAuthorizationUrl();
authorizationUrl.setRedirectUri(getRedirectUri(req));
onAuthorization(req, resp, authorizationUrl);
credential = null;
}
Using offline access and prompt:consent worked well to me:
auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
client_id: '{cliend_id}'
});
auth2.grantOfflineAccess({prompt:'consent'}).then(signInCallback);
In order to get new refresh_token each time on authentication the type of OAuth 2.0 credentials created in the dashboard should be "Other". Also as mentioned above the access_type='offline' option should be used when generating the authURL.
When using credentials with type "Web application" no combination of prompt/approval_prompt variables will work - you will still get the refresh_token only on the first request.
To get a refresh token using postman, here is an example of the configurations
Expected Response
now google had refused those parameters in my request (access_type, prompt)... :( and there is no "Revoke Access" button at all. I'm frustrating because of getting back my refresh_token lol
UPDATE:
I found the answer in here :D you can get back the refresh token by a request
https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2WebServer
curl -H "Content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke?token={token}
The token can be an access token or a refresh token. If the token is an access token and it has a corresponding refresh token, the refresh token will also be revoked.
If the revocation is successfully processed, then the status code of the response is 200. For error conditions, a status code 400 is returned along with an error code.

My solution was a bit weird..i tried every solution i found on internet and nothing. Surprisely this worked: delete the credentials.json, refresh, vinculate your app in your account again. The new credentials.json file will have the refresh token. Backup this file somewhere.
Then keep using your app until the refresh token error comes again. Delete the crendetials.json file that now is only with an error message (this hapenned in my case), then paste you old credentials file in the folder, its done!
Its been 1 week since ive done this and had no more problems.
Adding access_type=offline to the authorisation Google authorisation URL did the trick for me. I am using Java and Spring framework.
This is the code that creates the client registration:
return CommonOAuth2Provider.GOOGLE
.getBuilder(client)
.scope("openid", "profile", "email", "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send")
.authorizationGrantType(AuthorizationGrantType.AUTHORIZATION_CODE)
.authorizationUri("https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?access_type=offline")
.clientId(clientId)
.redirectUriTemplate("{baseUrl}/{action}/oauth2/code/{registrationId}")
.clientSecret(clientSecret)
.build();
The important part here is the authorization URI, to which ?access_type=offline is appended.
