Interacting with a secured Add-ons Service using HTTP requests and API calls

If you want to interact with the Add-ons Service, such as to retrieve Add-ons from code, and if your Add-ons Service has been set up to require authentication through Access Management, you need to perform a sequence of HTTP requests and API calls to retrieve the Add-ons.

About this task

The following diagram illustrates the sequence of HTTP requests and API calls to retrieve Add-ons from a secured Add-ons Service:

Procedure

  1. Make an HTTP POST request from your Add-ons Service client to your IdP to retrieve a valid access token. Refer to your IdP documentation to learn exactly what the request should look like.
  2. Include the access token you receive in any interaction you make with the Add-ons Service, for example, to retrieve Add-ons.
