I'm trying to use axios for a GET request with an API which requires an Authorization header.
My current code:
const AuthStr = 'Bearer ' + USER_TOKEN;
where USER_TOKEN is the access token needed. This string concatenation may be the issue as if I post this as AuthStr = 'Bearer 41839y750138-391', the following GET request works and returns the data I'm after.
axios.get(URL, { 'headers': { 'Authorization': AuthStr } })
.then((response => {
console.log(response.data);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
I also tried setting this as a global header with no success.

For anyone else that comes across this post and might find it useful... There is actually nothing wrong with my code. I made the mistake of requesting client_credentials type access code instead of password access code (#facepalms). FYI I am using urlencoded post hence the use of querystring.. So for those that may be looking for some example code.. here is my full request
Big thanks to @swapnil for trying to help me debug this.
const data = {
grant_type: USER_GRANT_TYPE,
client_id: CLIENT_ID,
client_secret: CLIENT_SECRET,
scope: SCOPE_INT,
username: DEMO_EMAIL,
password: DEMO_PASSWORD
};
axios.post(TOKEN_URL, Querystring.stringify(data))
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data);
USER_TOKEN = response.data.access_token;
console.log('userresponse ' + response.data.access_token);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('error ' + error);
});
const AuthStr = 'Bearer '.concat(USER_TOKEN);
axios.get(URL, { headers: { Authorization: AuthStr } })
.then(response => {
// If request is good...
console.log(response.data);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('error ' + error);
});
Could not get this to work until I put Authorization in single quotes:
axios.get(URL, { headers: { 'Authorization': AuthStr } })
