can anyone give me some advice on how i can overcome the issue

Answer 1

i have found the solution to my problem

 $.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
        console.log(response);
        ID = response['access_token'];
        console.log(ID)
      });
   

    // if hard coded the token
    private ACCESS_TOKEN : string = ID;
