Hi Joe,

Here is an example on how to do this using python:

<SPAN class="keyword token">import</SPAN> requests<SPAN class="punctuation token">,</SPAN> json

In the python example I provided the response is a dictionary, so I can call the appropriate key ('token') to only receive that text.

token <SPAN class="" style="color: #a67f59; background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5); border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 14px;">=</SPAN> response<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 14px;">.</SPAN>json<SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 14px;">(</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 14px;">)</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 14px;">[</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #669900; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 14px;">'token'</SPAN><SPAN class="" style="color: #999999; border: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-size: 14px;">]</SPAN>

Can you format the JSON response to just have the token and no other text?

joerodmey

Is there an option to receive the expiry time in minutes instead of milliseconds?

How can you remove the word token and expiry from the JSON response?

JakeSkinner

I'm not familiar with Integromat or webhooks, but I believe you need to create a POST request when generating a token. For example, you could use Postman to do this. Try this app and check to make sure your parameters are correct.

Have you tried adding it to the URL:

&token=yourtokenvalue<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

joerodmey

Figured it out. Used the following URL: https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken?f=pjson&username=myUserName&password=myPW&referer=http://www.arcgis.com

I don't have the option to use Python, I have to use REST directly. Reason being is that I'm using Integromat and webhooks
