  • 1.  Node.js API Integration with Resilient

    Posted Tue July 27, 2021 11:40 AM
    I need to access Resilient's API with Node.js by using an API-key and API-secret generated in Resilient.

    How do I define the headers when making a http request to resilient API?
    I am using superagent
    And have tried sending the authentication in different ways


    I tested it in Postman using the Basic Authentication, but I just get timeout on the request.
    So I suspect that there is something about my request headers that are not quite right.

    If someone have any experience with Resilient and Node.js it would be much appreciated

    Hello Andreas,

    I think the problem is about auth header. You should base64 encode your credential string (apikeyid:apikeysecret).

    apikey="qweqwe"
    apisecret="ewqewq"
    credentialstring = "qweqwe:ewqewq"
    b64encoded_string = "cXdlcXdlOmV3cWV3cQ=="

    So you header should be {"Authorization": "Basic cXdlcXdlOmV3cWV3cQ=="}

    If you look headers on Postman, you will see same header on Postman too.

    Thank you Burak,
    I used the Node.js  Buffer-object to base64-encode it and it works now

    let credentialString = resilientKeyID + ":" +  resilientKeySecret;
var buff = Buffer.from(credentialString);
let base64CredentialString = buff.toString('base64');
let auth = "Basic " + base64CredentialString;

let header = {"Authorization": auth}
