Bearer Token Authentication

Introduction

This blog provides a code example, how to use bearer token authentication with RestClient(RestSharp) for bearer authentication(bearer token oauth) in C#.

Getting Started

Here in the below there are two examples which send request to API get and post method using ReestClient(RestSharp). The request format is JSON format and in the header bearer token is included for bearer authentication.

Bearer Token Example

 string token = "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIng1dCI6ImppYk5ia0ZTU2JteFBZck45Q0ZxUms0SzRndyIsImtpZCI6ImppYk5ia0ZTU2JteFBZck45Q0ZxUms0SzRndyJ9.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.emGSXtK4lzERav1v2_K6nZlmAevsGzHhObUMlJdhOmQVZqcX76sWlLcRxmvh-Sw0JBj9ya0n1fTGFklijfLyMxUVIKAIgs5pKUpAkDzz0E6qbQWKTf89yy7w7qKAdQnLySzxKdg672dsAOCeDga2FvbHAKWtyKpA9YdmkQJE0rqF8uUwrBRxTpjOUkQkz7XqFCBde2FxmDGHAp_75Yh9za8Ma0XSwi90gZdjNfasX2rxelScyLWjrb8kTmjZ_ZxYgKOqCSUqhw8swvYnlfpN8qknXXQGFnZBqQV3nXqF45vXIcF0HxoOo9gw-mo58FfoZiILH4KucVA2NDVXyRjURw";  

Bearer Token Authentication with GET method

The following code example calls the API’s get method using RestClient and includes the bearer token in the request header

 IRestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);   
 request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");   
 request.AddHeader("content-Length","0");  
 request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);   
 request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;   
 request.AddParameter("Parameter_Name", "Parameter_Value", ParameterType.RequestBody);   
   
 RestClient client = new RestClient("url");   
   
 IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);  
   
 string responsevalue = response.Content;  

Bearer Token Authentication

Bearer Token Authentication with POST method

The following code example calls the API’s POST method using RestClient and includes the bearer token in the request header

 IRestRequest request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);   
 request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");   
 request.AddHeader("content-Length","0");  
 request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);   
 request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;   
 request.AddParameter("Parameter_Name", "Parameter_Value", ParameterType.RequestBody);   
   
 RestClient client = new RestClient("url");   
   
 IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);  
   
 string responsevalue = response.Content;
