How do I authenticate Azure REST API?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:27 pm

Authentication for Azure REST API is done using OAuth 2.0. You will first need to create an OAuth 2.0 client, and then use that client to authenticate against the Azure REST API.

You will need to provide the client ID and client secret, as well as the resource you are trying to access. The following example shows how to authenticate against the Azure REST API using the OAuth 2.0 client created in the previous section.

The following code example shows how to authenticate against the Azure REST API using the OAuth 2.0 client.

PRO TIP: When authenticating the Azure REST API, be sure to use a valid Azure account with the appropriate permissions. Also be aware that the API may change in the future, so be sure to keep your code up to date.

var client = new OAuth2.0(clientId, clientSecret); var resource = “https://myResource.Azurewebsites.net”; // Setup the request object. request = new Request(resource); // Get the authorization code grant. authorizationCode = client.

authorize(request); // Get the access token. accessToken = authorizationCode.getAccessToken(); // Return the response object. return JSON.stringify(accessToken, null, 4);.

The code example first creates an OAuth 2.0 client using the clientId and clientSecret values provided. Then it sets up a request object using the resource name provided.

The authorizationCode value is obtained from the authorize() method call, and the accessToken value is obtained from the getAccessToken() method call. The response object is then returned.
