General

Hello,

I need your help, first sorry for my bad english, i'm french :confused:

How can i made an http request with bearer token authentification to put json code. I have just one option " basic authentification" on http request nodes.

Thanks for all,

Hi @cyderbot97

you can create the required http header yourself in a Function node and pass it in to the HTTP Request node:

msg.headers = {
    Authorization: "Bearer "+YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
}
return msg;

We are also just about to merge a change that adds Bearer auth into the node's configuration options - but for now, the example above will let you do it.

I do not have a valid bearer token to try that flow.

What error are you getting?

You have configured the request node to return a parsed JSON object - if you are getting an error from that, change it to return a UTF8 string so you can see what it is returning and check it really is valid JSON.
