I'm struggling with the Xero accounting software API, getting a token.
Attached is where I have got to with the workflow.
The best explanation of how to go about this is here Explanation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Just fyi, your private API keys are in the workflow, I would replace the file with them edited out... also make sure to generate new keys.
I don't have whatever macro is in your workflow, so it appears broken, but it doesn't look like you're indicating if you're doing a GET or a POST, that needs to be included in your signature.
ALTERYX EMPLOYEE's: If @bmillrine workflow is still attached, you may want to delete it for them. I don't know if the keys are sample data or not, but it makes me nervous seeing them in there
API keys are old and have been refreshed.
Thanks
Without delving too deep into the actual working's of the API, I can see a couple of changes to definitely make.
This doesn't necessarily cover everything to get the API going, however, should get you to the next steps...

I've made those changes and a few more, but I still can't get it to work.
It could also be that I barely understand what's going on, but at the moment I'm stuck on "Failed to validate signature" error.
It's not a simple process. Take a look inside the Connect Alteryx Loader to see how it's done there...
