I'm trying to send this POST request to IBM Cloud from Node.js using axios:
curl -k -X POST \
--header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--data-urlencode "grant_type=urn:ibm:params:oauth:grant-type:apikey" \
--data-urlencode "apikey=s00pers3cret" \
"https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token"
The curl request works. I've had good luck with axios in another Node function.
The axios documentation says to do this when using application/x-www-form-urlencoded format data:
const querystring = require('querystring');
axios.post('http://something.com/', querystring.stringify({ foo: 'bar' }));
In Node I wrote:
const querystring = require('querystring');
axios.post('https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token', querystring.stringify({
grant_type: 'urn:ibm:params:oauth:grant-type:apike',
apikey: 's00pers3cret'
})
)
.then(function(response) {
console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Here's the full error response:

I also tried:

const querystring = require('querystring');
axios({
method: 'post',
url: 'https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token',
headers: {
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
accept: 'application/json'
},
data: querystring.stringify({

apikey: 's00pers3cret'
})
})
.then(function(response) {
console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Same error response. Any suggestions?
There is a missing y in grant_type value, change it to this:
urn:ibm:params:oauth:grant-type:apikey
By the way, this is a server related error coming from IBM (not Axios), you can inspect them like this:
.catch(error => console.log(error.response.data));
