Foresee Oauth 2.0

[IbrahimAhmed]

Hi All, 

I am quite new to Alteryx and am looking to use the download tool to access the foresee API which uses the Oauth 2.0 protocol.

Here is a link to the instructions provided by foresee

https://developer.foresee.com/docs/oauth2-client-credentials-flow

I have written a flow  using these 3 items to feed the download tool

URL:

"https://api.foresee.com/v1/token?grant_type=client_credentials&scope=r_cx_basic"

Key

"Basic {Key}:"

Secret

"{Secret}"

I am using the URL in the basics tab on the download tool 

and in the headers and using the Key and Secret fields.

and in payload using the POST option.. however i keep getting the below error:

{"timestamp":"2018-04-27T07:49:49.524+0000","status":401,"error":"Unauthorized","message":"Full authentication is required to access this resource","path":"/oauth2-server/oauth/token"}

Any help would be massively appreciated

Check out this tool: https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Twitter-Search/574db168a248970bdc36d527

It itself uses OAuth2 (twitters version of course), and Alteryx have built a nice little oauth2 macro inside the twitter macro, so you can take a look at that and it may give you some pointers on how to achieve what you want to achieve.

Hi Ben, When I try to click the link you have posted I get below message. Can you please share the workflow, where I can access it. 

Sorry, you don't have access to this workflow.

This workflow is not shared with you via a collection.

Hello Ben,

Could you provide me access to this workflow? I am working on retrieving data from an API and for that I would need to generate access tokens using the API key and the secret. Thanks!

Hello Ben,

Could you please share this workflow with me? I am trying to pull data through an API connection but am running into the same error mentioned in the first post of this thread. Thank you!
