Generate Token in REST

[joerodmey]

Tryhing to generate an AGOL token using REST. WHat I have so far:

https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/generateToken HTTP/1.1?f=json&username=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD&client=requestip

Error I get:

{"error":{"code":400,"messageCode":"GWM_0002","message":"Invalid URL","details":[]}}

Hi Joe,

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

import requests, json

tokenURL = 'https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken'
params = {'f': 'pjson', 'username': username, 'password': password, 'referer': 'http://www.arcgis.com'}
response = requests.post(tokenURL, data = params, verify = False)
token = response.json()['token']‍‍‍‍‍‍

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

[joerodmey]

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

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

[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?

[joerodmey]

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

[JakeSkinner]

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 = response.json()['token']
