I´m trying to make a post request to a third party API.
In this request I have to send my username and password on the header, and It will return a response header with the X-Auth_token. The problem is that I´m not getting the X-Auth-Token in the header if I make the posto from a client to my server and then to the API. If I make the request from Postman directly to the API url, it works fine.
This is the code:
SERVER
app.post("/signin", async (req, res) => {
console.log("BODY", await req.body);
try {
const xToken = await axios.post(loginUrl, {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"X-Username": req.body.username,
"X-Password": req.body.password,
},
});
console.log(xToken.headers);
//res.send(xToken);
} catch (error) {
console.log("SERVER Error: ", error.message);
}
});
CLIENT
const signin = async () => {
try {
const TOKEN = await axios.post("http://localhost:3000/signin", {
username: "AGU",
password: "MIOTTI",
});
console.log("TOKEN", TOKEN);
return TOKEN;
} catch (error) {
console.log("CLIENT Error: ", error.message);
}
};
signin();
What can be the problem?
some data of postman:
This is the response header when you try to make the post with postman directly to 
and this is the response header when you make the reques to the serven on express:
CodePudding user response：
The Server side as server.js file
const express = require("express")
const axios = require('axios')
const cors = require("cors")
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const corsOptions = {
exposedHeaders: 'Authorization',
};
const app = express()
app.use(cors(corsOptions))
app.use(bodyParser())
const loginUrl = 'https://api.remarkets.primary.com.ar/auth/getToken'
app.post("/signin", async (req, res) => {
console.log("BODY", await req.body);
const response = await axios.post(
url = loginUrl,
'',
config = {
headers: {
"X-Username": req.body.username,
"X-Password": req.body.password,
}
})
return res.send(response.headers["x-auth-token"])
});
app.listen(3000, () => { console.log("Listening on :3000") })
The Cliet side as client.js file
const axios = require('axios')
const signin = async () => {
try {
const response = await axios.post("http://localhost:3000/signin", {
username: "<your id>",
password: "<your password>",
});
return Promise.resolve(response.data);
} catch (error) {
return Promise.reject(error);
}
};
signin()
.then(token => {
console.log('token is : ' token);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error.message);
});
