Test Salesforce OAuth2 Access Token

See more Salesforce Examples

Demonstrates how to make a simple Salesforce REST API call to test a previously obtained access token. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# This example does the following:

# curl -X GET https://yourInstance.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/userinfo \
#      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

http = Chilkat::CkHttp.new()

# Use the following online tool to generate HTTP code from a CURL command
# Convert a cURL Command to HTTP Source Code

# This example assumes the OAuth2 access token was previously fetched 
# and saved to a file.  See Get SalesForce OAuth2 Access Token via Authorization Flow

json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
success = json.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/_salesforce.json")
if (success == false)
    print "Failed to load OAuth2 access token." + "\n";
    exit
end

# Here's an example of the JSON:

# {
#   "access_token": "00D41000....uLZBpT6",
#   "refresh_token": "5Aep....25xdGgkrV",
#   "signature": "cjTbSc5DvcKpaMoRTzuQTJLb1tcMw8LEO01flq4aMD4=",
#   "scope": "refresh_token id",
#   "instance_url": "https://d41000000f8a0eak-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com",
#   "id": "https://login.salesforce.com/id/00D41000000F8A0EAK/005410000....xAAE",
#   "token_type": "Bearer",
#   "issued_at": "1738348388166"
# }

# Adds the "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" header.
http.put_AuthToken(json.stringOf("access_token"))

# We want to build the following URL:  https://<instance_id>.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/userinfo
sbUrl = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
sbUrl.Append(json.stringOf("instance_url"))
sbUrl.Append("/services/oauth2/userinfo")

sbResponseBody = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()
success = http.QuickGetSb(sbUrl.getAsString(),sbResponseBody)
if (success == false)
    print http.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Response status code = " + http.get_LastStatus().to_s() + "\n";

jsonResponse = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
jsonResponse.LoadSb(sbResponseBody)
jsonResponse.put_EmitCompact(false)
print jsonResponse.emit() + "\n";

# The expected JSON response is something like this:

# {
#   "sub": "005xxxxxxxxxxxx",
#   "name": "John Doe",
#   "preferred_username": "johndoe@example.com",
#   "email": "johndoe@example.com",
#   "profile": "https://na85.salesforce.com/005xxxxxxxxxxxx"
