Hello Forum,

 

I looking into using FME Desktop to connet to an API using the HTTPCaller. 

 

HTTPCaller requires a selected authentication method. The options are: Basic, Digest, NTLM, Web Connection, Single Sign-On.

 

However the API owner has said that their authentication method is "Bearer Token (with an API key provided)". Is this compatible with any other the existing authentication methods available in HTTPcaller?

 

Thanks,

Stuart

Yes, under headers add a new line with Name = Authorization and Value = Bearer ABCXXX where you replace ABCXXX with your token.

Thanks for that. And do I replace is ABCXXX with the given API key? Also, if I use this method do I switch off ‘Use Authentication’? Thanks, Stuart
