Hi All,

Is anyone able to use the Orchestrator API OAuth2.0 for authorization, getting token and starting a job in orchestrator via NodeJs?

I did try and followed the documentation but I am getting an error

Node.js code

Hello @Saksham,

are you sure that “client_id” = App ID from the application? Why are you using “client_credentials” authentication type?

Best,

Artur

Maybe it’s because of the code? Isn’t it passing parameters as the request headers? They should be included in the request body, as you see here:

Hi Artur,

The reason I am using the client credentials auth type is because if I choose the authorisation code type , it would require a manual intervention (this is what I have observed when I used postman where as soon as I request a new token, i need to first login to the automation cloud account first)

I am pretty new to this and looking for ways to do so.

Something must be wrong with the request - it’s not correctly taking the data.

Hi I am facing the same issue, has anyone found a solution for this?

In Postman the URL will be https://cloud.uipath.com/identity_/connect/token with the method POST

In Headers specify Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Example:

In the Body select x-www-form-urlencoded

This is a back-end example for the HTTP Request:

POST /identity_/connect/token HTTP/1.1
Host: cloud.uipath.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&scope=OR.Administration%20OR.Analytics%20OR.Assets%20OR.Audit%20OR.BackgroundTasks%20OR.Execution%20OR.Folders%20OR.Hypervisor%20OR.Jobs%20OR.License%20OR.Machines%20OR.ML%20OR.Monitoring%20OR.Queues%20OR.Robots%20OR.Settings%20OR.Tasks%20OR.TestDataQueues%20OR.TestSets%20OR.Users%20OR.Webhooks&client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

Let us know if this approach worked for you in Postman at least.
