Using R tool to generate API access token

Hey All,

 

I'm not very experienced with R but I think it could be a great tool for generating an access token for an API.

 

I can successfully run and generate the access token no problem but I'm not certain how to pass the token from the tool's messages into an output.

 

I imagine this is a fairly simple process but no amount of reading documentation has done it for me.

 

Thanks in advance!

Embarrassing to admit but I don't even know what my variable is named. I assume I have a variable?

@gcbell No embarrassment :) try

 write.Alteryx(content(response,"text"), 1) 

 Or

 write.Alteryx(response, 1) 

See what comes out of output anchor 1
