If you don t have the token at the time of the call is made  You will have to make two calls  one to get the token and the other to extract the token form the response  pay attention to      grep token   cut -d  -f1   cut -d   -f4   as it is the part which is dealing with extracting the token from the response   echo  Getting token response and extracting token      def token   sh  returnStdout  true  script          curl -S -i -k -X POST https   www example com getToken -H   Content-Type  application json   -H   Accept  application json   -d  requestFile json   grep token   cut -d  -f1   cut -d    -f4      split     After extracting the token you can use the token to make subsequent calls as follows   echo  Token     token -1           echo  Making calls using token            curl -S -i -k  -H  Accept  application json  -H  Content-Type  application json  -H  Authorization  Bearer   token -1    https   www example com api resources

Be careful that when you using  curl -H  Authorization  token str  http   www example com  token str and Authorization must be separated by white space  otherwise server-side will not get the HTTP AUTHORIZATION environment

http   curl haxx se docs httpscripting html  See part 6  HTTP Authentication     HTTP Authentication      HTTP Authentication is the ability to tell the server your username and    password so that it can verify that you re allowed to do the request you re    doing  The Basic authentication used in HTTP  which is the type curl uses by    default  is plain text based  which means it sends username and password    only slightly obfuscated  but still fully readable by anyone that sniffs on    the network between you and the remote server       To tell curl to use a user and password for authentication   curl --user name password http   www example com       The site might require a different authentication method  check the headers    returned by the server   and then --ntlm  --digest  --negotiate or even    --anyauth might be options that suit you       Sometimes your HTTP access is only available through the use of a HTTP    proxy  This seems to be especially common at various companies  A HTTP proxy    may require its own user and password to allow the client to get through to    the Internet  To specify those with curl  run something like   curl --proxy-user proxyuser proxypassword curl haxx se       If your proxy requires the authentication to be done using the NTLM method     use --proxy-ntlm  if it requires Digest use --proxy-digest       If you use any one these user password options but leave out the password    part  curl will prompt for the password interactively       Do note that when a program is run  its parameters might be possible to see    when listing the running processes of the system  Thus  other users may be    able to watch your passwords if you pass them as plain command line    options  There are ways to circumvent this       It is worth noting that while this is how HTTP Authentication works  very    many web sites will not use this concept when they provide logins etc  See    the Web Login chapter further below for more details on that
