hello,  
I found a post that exactly matches my problem:

> [@iAqualink for Pool Equipment](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/iaqualink-for-pool-equipment/29689):
>
> BACKGROUND iAqualink is a service created for connecting Zodiac/Fluidra pool equipment to a cloud-based service for monitoring and control. There are apps for iOS and Android but no open-API for 3rd party control. Someone has managed to sniff the login process using a http proxy and published a number of curl commands. I'd like to create a project to do this with Node-Red but lack sufficient depth of knowledge to get it going. I can see parallels with an existing project for Miele home applia…

and even the spotify example that goes with it. But unfortunately like Tico, I'm drooling hats tried to recover the bearer token to put it in another http request... I manage to put it in a flow or global variable... but I can't never with a node function or change to reuse it in another http...  
{ "Authorization": "Bearer " +"the token from hell"}  
that works  
{ "Authorization": "Bearer " & $flowContext('iaqualink').TokenID}  
it does not work....  
for the love of code an saint axeerror. help me.

Welcome to the forum!  
That doesn't look quite right. Have a read of [Working with context : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context) which will help you retrieving flow context in the correct way.

hi Paul , thks ,  
I've already gone through this doc, but to be honest I'm not into it enough to understand, I started with a few examples, like spotify , which I can't reproduce.  
I get a nice token that I put in a flow.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/3/5/35341282b3564fdb635b9c0070aac96dfd56a10e.png)

it doesn't work anymore is when I try to reproduce this:  
'{  
"Authorization": "Bearer " & $flowContext('spotify').tokens.access\_token  
}'  
how to replace \<\<& $flowContext('spotify').tokens.access\_token\>\> by  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/0/0/00cb152fdd46f73b57dcc86c08cd02c3d2f994ac.png)  
that haven't no "copy path" by the way. (? [Copy path of a variable from Debug Node does not work](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/copy-path-of-a-variable-from-debug-node-does-not-work/56841))  
thks again

But you screenshot shows global.  
Try `$globalContext("TokenID")`

Here's a flow that pulls info for two devices (Zodiac Chlorinator and Zodiac Heatpump) -

```

Note that in the Function node (Format Post Request) preceeding the first HTTP Request , you will require three bits of info -

API Key (generic for all users) - EOOEMOW4YR6QNB11  
Email  
Password

In the Function node (Format Get Request) preceeding the Device, you will need 'yourDeviceIDhere' where specified. It's the serial number of the device and looks something like -

JT19000123  
or  
JX19100123

The post you originally linked to has the curl commands necessary to pull the DeviceID. They might also be physically printed on the device somewhere but I haven't looked.

hi Guys,  
thks a lot  
@ [E1cid](https://discourse.nodered.org/u/E1cid)  
yes i try an other way in the meantime, but is consistent  
@Tico  
hey, I was hoping that you had finalized on your side, iwill try your solution  
I have no problem recovering the token and getting the info from the chlorinator, but doing it automatically...
