Thanks for the help

from bws-gui.

Thanks, I got it using https://account.bioid.com/connect/token Closing this

Great. But also, it seems you miss a space after your "Basic" before appending the base64-encoded stuff.

@CmdQ But accessing with https://account.bioid.com/connect/token does not require basic authentication

$uriBase = 'https://account.bioid.com/connect/token';
        //set the request header
        $requestHeaders=[
            'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        ];
        //set the body params
        $requestParams=[
            'client_id'=>env('BIOID_CLIENT_ID'),
            'grant_type'=>'client_credentials',
            'client_secret'=>env('BIOID_CLIENT_SECRET')
        ];
        //send the request to BIOID server and return the response
        $response = $this->client->post($uriBase,[
            'headers'=>$requestHeaders,
            'form_params' =>$requestParams,
        ]);
        return json_encode(json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents()), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Though, I am also having the issue with Upload API with the following error
"Message":"The API call requires authentication. Try to request a Web Token before calling this method."

        $uriBase = 'https://bws.bioid.com/extension/upload';
        $imageUrl = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Dagestani_man_and_woman.jpg';

        //send the request to BIOID server and return the response
        $response = $this->client->post($uriBase,[
            'query'=>['tag'=>'up'],
            'headers'=>['Authorization' => 'Bearer '. $request->token],
            'form_params'=>['image' =>base64_encode($imageUrl)]
        ]);
        return json_encode(json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents()), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Disclaimer: I don't know much about PHP and cannot try your samples.

What I see:

• Yes, the token call does need basic auth.
• Why do you use application/x-www-form-urlencoded? It is not understood by the token call. Only a few of our calls understand that one.
• Where do you get the parameter names client_id, grant_type and client_secret from?

See the token documentation about the two mandatory parameters (all via GET!) and authorization. Also you can find a sample response. Check that yours looks similar.

Your first try was much better, you just forgot the space between “Basic” and the base64-encoded string.

@CmdQ Thanks for the reply, I have added space between basic and base64-encoded string but still, it's throwing "Message":"Unauthorized"

from bws-gui.

@CmdQ Though I was trying to access status [https://developer.bioid.com/bwsreference/web-api/web-status-api] but still that is throwing Unauthorized

from bws-gui.

At the moment I can only tell you to double-check the spelling/casing of your app id and secret. I just tried changing a tiny bit and got to the same error message as you.

Maybe try status first. It does not need any parameters, so one less thing to go wrong. Authorization is the same.

from bws-gui.

Oh, now I see something else: you tried to get the token from https://account.bioid.com/connect/token. That is our user management and that token is of no use to you.

If you want to call

https://bws.bioid.com/extension/upload

then you need to get your token at

https://bws.bioid.com/extension/token

Same prefix for all calls!

Again, your first try was the most correct.
