Using a Working curl with node-red http-request

General
1

I've read various posts here on the node-red way to provide data to an http-request node, but no matter what I try I am not getting anywhere fast.

(Because this contains sensitive data, I have had to obscure or modify certain parts.)

Running this:

curl -s "https://auth.xxx.com/oauth/token" -d client_id=xxx-web-app -d grant_type=password -d scope=home.user -d username="xxx@xxx.com" -d password="pet-syp-bom" -d client_secret="wZaRN7rpjn3FoNyF5IFuxg9uMzYJcvOoQ8QWiIqS3hfk6gLhVlG57j5YNoZL2Rtc"

Gets the expected:

When I try implementing (what I think is) the same in node-red [see below], I get an error: "invalid_grant" and error_description: "Bad credentials", so perhaps I am providing the username and password and/or the client_secret in the wrong place?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Try this...

[{"id":"f8a108bcac1f01d2","type":"inject","z":"10ece3ab98e93683","name":"Click me","props":[],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","x":240,"y":920,"wires":[["880aa0ca5eab8a39"]]},{"id":"880aa0ca5eab8a39","type":"function","z":"10ece3ab98e93683","name":"","func":"//original curl:  \n//\n//curl -s \"https://auth.xxx.com/oauth/token\" -d client_id=xxx-web-app -d grant_type=password -d scope=home.user -d username=\"xxx@xxx.com\" -d password=\"pet-syp-bom\" -d client_secret=\"wZaRN7rpjn3FoNyF5IFuxg9uMzYJcvOoQ8QWiIqS3hfk6gLhVlG57j5YNoZL2Rtc\"\n\nmsg.method = \"post\";\nmsg.url = \"https://auth.xxx.com/oauth/token\";\nmsg.payload = `client_id=xxx-web-app&grant_type=password&scope=home.user&username=\"xxx@xxx.com\"&password=\"pet-syp-bom\"&client_secret=\"wZaRN7rpjn3FoNyF5IFuxg9uMzYJcvOoQ8QWiIqS3hfk6gLhVlG57j5YNoZL2Rtc\"`;\nmsg.headers = null;\nmsg.cookies = null;\n\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","libs":[],"x":420,"y":920,"wires":[["9a2d79e221a4a227"]]},{"id":"9a2d79e221a4a227","type":"http request","z":"10ece3ab98e93683","name":"","method":"use","ret":"txt","paytoqs":"ignore","url":"","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","authType":"","senderr":false,"headers":[],"credentials":{"user":"","password":""},"x":600,"y":920,"wires":[["91953eeb95ea4395"]]},{"id":"91953eeb95ea4395","type":"debug","z":"10ece3ab98e93683","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":780,"y":920,"wires":[]}]

It is an auto-generated flow from a plugin I am working on - so please let me know if it works.

Thank you, but I am afraid it doesn't work:

{"error":"unauthorized","error_description":"Full authentication is required to access this resource"}

(Obviously, I modified to correct credentials etc after importing.)

Can you modify the function node to this...

//original curl:  
//
//curl -s "https://auth.xxx.com/oauth/token" -d client_id=xxx-web-app -d grant_type=password -d scope=home.user -d username="xxx@xxx.com" -d password="pet-syp-bom" -d client_secret="wZaRN7rpjn3FoNyF5IFuxg9uMzYJcvOoQ8QWiIqS3hfk6gLhVlG57j5YNoZL2Rtc"

msg.method = "post";
msg.url = "https://auth.xxx.com/oauth/token";
msg.payload = `client_id=xxx-web-app&grant_type=password&scope=home.user&username="xxx@xxx.com"&password="pet-syp-bom"&client_secret="wZaRN7rpjn3FoNyF5IFuxg9uMzYJcvOoQ8QWiIqS3hfk6gLhVlG57j5YNoZL2Rtc"`;
msg.headers = null;
msg.cookies = {
    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
};

return msg;

NOTE
be sure to update the following values (where required)

  • url
  • client_id
  • client_secret
  • username
  • password

Same result. (I have definitely updated all the values you list.)

If it's of any help, I am quite happy to share the actual details with you privately - I just don't want to publish them on the web.

Please do as it would help me understand why my plugin doesnt translate your particular curl correctly.
