OAuthRequest

Overview

JSOAuthRequest provides a streamlined way to create and execute OAuth requests within an application. It supports various HTTP verbs, such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH, enabling flexible interactions with OAuth-enabled APIs. This wrapper simplifies the process of setting up requests by offering methods to add headers, parameters, and payloads.

Headers can be defined using addHeader, and body parameters can be specified with addBodyParameter. The setPayload function allows for setting the request's body payload, useful for scenarios involving larger data transmissions. For adding parameters, addParameter intelligently determines whether to place the parameter in the body or as a query string based on the HTTP verb. Additionally, addQuerystringParameter explicitly manages query string additions.

The class also supports OAuth-specific parameters like scope and others prefixed with oauth_ through the addOAuthParameter method. The execute method runs the configured request and returns an OAuthResponse object containing details such as HTTP status codes and the response body.

Methods Summarized

Type	Name	Summary
void	addBodyParameter(key, value)	Add a body parameter to the request.
void	addHeader(header, value)	Allows setting a header on the request object.
void	addOAuthParameter(key, value)	Add an OAuth parameter, like 'scope', 'realm' or with the 'oauth_' prefix
void	addParameter(key, value)	Add a body or a query string parameter, depending on the request type.
void	addQuerystringParameter(key, value)	Add a query string parameter.
OAuthResponse	execute()	Execute a request that was created with the OAuth service.
void	setPayload(data)	Set body payload.

Methods Detailed

addBodyParameter(key, value)

Add a body parameter to the request.

Parameters

• String key the parameter name

• String value the parameter value

Returns: void

Sample

var postRequest = service.createPostRequest("https://.....");
postRequest.addBodyParameter("param1", "value1");

addHeader(header, value)

Allows setting a header on the request object.

Parameters

• String header the header name

• String value the header value

Returns: void

Sample

var getRequest = service.createGetRequest("https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me");
getRequest.addHeader("Accept", "application/json");

addOAuthParameter(key, value)

Add an OAuth parameter, like 'scope', 'realm' or with the 'oauth_' prefix

Parameters

• String key one of 'scope', 'realm' or starting with 'oauth_'

• String value the oauth parameter value

Returns: void

addParameter(key, value)

Add a body or a query string parameter, depending on the request type. If the request allows a body (POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH) then it adds it as a body parameter. Otherwise it is added as a query string parameter.

Parameters

• String key the parameter name

• String value the parameter value

Returns: void

addQuerystringParameter(key, value)

Add a query string parameter.

Parameters

• String key the query string parameter name

• String value the parameter value

Returns: void

execute()

Execute a request that was created with the OAuth service.

Returns: OAuthResponse the OAuthResponse object

Sample

var request = service.createRequest(plugins.oauth.RequestType.GET, "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me");
request.addHeader("Accept", "application/json");

var response = request.execute();
if (response.getCode() == 200) {
		var json = response.getAsJSON();
		application.output("Name is "+json.firstName);
	}
else
{
		application.output("ERROR http status "+response.getCode());
		application.output(response.getBody())
}

setPayload(data)

Set body payload.

Parameters

• String data ;

Returns: void

Sample

var putRequest = service.createPutRequest("https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root:/FolderAA/FileBB.txt:/content");
putRequest.addHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
putRequest.setPayload("ABC");
