Hi All, 

My goal establish the connection with the customer website using API with OAUTH 2.0 ( using client Secret and API Key) to download the images from the customer. i got an error message while trying to connect with customer API. 

My question : 

- are we be able to use HTTP call to connect ? i could not find the authorization "Oauth 2.0" on the list ? they only show 'Active Directory Oauth' - which asking to to enter Tenant and Audience as a required ; but i have no information.

- what is the possible solution for this ? i am so new to flow so not sure what should i do to establish the connection. Please advice

    Thanks for your response, @v-lin-msft 

    below is my input for HTTP call :

    method :  POST

    URL:https://api.gettyimages.com/oauth2/token

    Header :

    Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    Body:

    client_id=exampleApiKey&client_secret=exampleSecret&username=someUsername&password=WithSomePassword

    ==>

    i got below error message while trying to generate the access token :

    BadRequest. The provided input content is not valid: 'The provided content-type header value
    'application/x-www-form-urlencoded ' is not well formed.'.
     
    not sure what should i do at this point ? 
    Please advice

    Hi @vnguyen1,

     

    The HTTP action can be able to call the web API and it generated authorization headers. 

     

    The Audience and Client ID are the same value.  You can check this in your Azure Portal Application registration, this is the Application ID in the properties.

    The Tenant field value is the domain, for example for us its: YourTenant.onmicrosoft.com.

     

    You can also refer to this blog:

    Please have a try, I hope it can help you.
