Bot Authorization

After created a bot profile, you’ll also need to provide a random string generated from Admin Panel to use for OAuth service. After the authentication succeeds an access token will be provided.

On node.JS, the authentication algorithm looks like this

const ClientOAuth2 = require('client-oauth2');

const ekoAuth = new ClientOAuth2({
  clientId: process.env.EKO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.EKO_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET,
  accessTokenUri: `${process.env.EKO_HTTP_URI}/oauth/token`, //Eko HTTP server uri
  scopes: ['bot'],
});

const authenticate = async () => {
  const { data } = await ekoAuth.credentials.getToken();
  app.set('token', data); //returned access token
};

OAuth Parameter

Name	Type	Description
clientId	String	Random string specific to bot
clientSecret	String	Random string specific to bot
accessTokenUri	String	Eko http server uri

The access token will be generated when the bot is successfully authorized.

Response

{
    "access_token": "eyJ0eXA...",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "expires_in": 1209599,
    "scope": "bot profile"
}

cURL

curl --location '<EKO_HTTP_URI>/oauth/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <Base64(EKO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID:EKO_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET)>' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--data-urlencode 'scope=bot profile'

Add the access token to your request

headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${ekoAPIKey}`,
},
