REST API Redirected Query Forwarding Headers

💬 App Building

For anyone interested, I was able to capture my data at the end of the redirected url with authentication in a workflow function like this

const fetch = require("node-fetch");

const apiKey = retoolContext.configVars.myKey;
const apiSecret = retoolContext.configVars.mySecret;

const authKey = Basic ${btoa(${apiKey}:${apiSecret})};
const url = myUrl;

const response = await fetch(url, {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': authKey,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  redirect: 'manual'
});

//just capturing the redirect url here
const locationUrl = response.headers.get('location');

if(!locationUrl) return null;

const fileResponse = await fetch(locationUrl, {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': authKey,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});

//in my case, the file came in as binary so converting to base64 for transporting to other workflow blocks
const buffer = await fileResponse.arrayBuffer();

return {
  base64Data: Buffer.from(buffer).toString('base64'),
  fileName: fileName,
  type: fileType
};
