Im trying to construct an OAuth2 request to the Box API. The example POST request they give as a guideline is a bit ambiguous to me as I am recently learning backend development. The example is as follows:
POST /tokenContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer& assertion=<JWT>& client_id=<client_id>& client_secret=<client_secret> Official Docs: https://box-content.readme.io/docs/app-auth The way I attempted to do this is as follows: var boxHeaders = { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}; var boxOptions = { url: 'https://api.box.com/oauth2/token', method: 'POST', headers: boxHeaders, form: { 'grant_type': 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer', 'assertion': boxtoken, 'client_id': 'myclientid', 'client_secret': 'myclientsecret' }}; request.post(boxOptions, function(err, response, body) { console.log(body);}); I get the following error: { "error":"invalid_request", "error_description":"Invalid grant_type parameter or parameter missing" } Obviously the grant type is incorrect but I have no idea how to go about constructing the string based on the Box API example. If anyone can help and even expose me to some good articles or tutorials on how to do this, that would be great!
