Request a Web Service with only token

[PWOIng]

Hi,

I am new on ranorex, and I try to request an API web service, I tried to add a web reference, but I have no login or password, only a permanent token, how can I do that?

(Ranorex 8.0.1)

Its hard to say without knowing more information about your example. the Web Reference functionality in Ranorex Studio is part of.NET framework and is not Ranorex specific as far as I know; have you been able to achieve what you are describing in another .NET IDE like Visual Studio?

Our API uses the OAuth token system, basically a custom header value that has to be added to the header of each request.

Code: Select all

public static HttpResponseMessage Post(string uri, string oAuthToken, string postJson) {
  using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
  {
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", oAuthToken);  // <-- Notice this line
    
    HttpContent content = new StringContent(postJson, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
    
    return client.PostAsync(uri, content).Result;
  }
}

The bearer tokens expire. You need to create a method to retrieve a bearer token so you can create a new one at the start of your test. I created a video on my youtube channel how to do that for AWS bearer tokens but the concept is similar to any API tokens:
