2. On a terminal window execute the curl command for the environment you selected.
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<token><username>sample_username</username><password>sample-password</password><client_id>client_name_of_your_choosing</client_id><user_ip_address>your_origin_ip_address</user_ip_address> <provider>Provider Id</provider></token>" https:

Note:
- Depending on the environment you selected, the Base API URL may be different from the example. If so, replace the purple text with the correct Base API URL.
- If you are embedding the token REST messages into a programming language, create an HTTP message and place the same components from the curl example into either the message header or body.
- If you have special characters in your password, you will probably need to escape them using a backslash.
If you don't want to escape any characters, but still want to use curl - implement the "file input" option to create a file that looks like the following:
<token> < username >sample_username</ username >
< password >sample-password</ password >
< client_id >client_name_of_your_choosing</ client_id >
< user_ip_address >your_origin_ip_address</ user_ip_address >
</token> |
Note: mytokengenerator.xml can be used as a file name, which simplifies the command. See example underneath step 2 for original command and the example below for simplified command.
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/xml" -d @mytokengenerator .xml https://api-test.echo.nasa.gov/echo-rest/tokens
|
Note: if using a programming language, just place the curl example parts into the correct http message header or body locations.
Provided a successful response is received, an HTTP success status code of 200 is supplied with the response. Below is a sample response from the curl call - where the value in the ID tag is the token you will use as the value in the Echo-Token header:
<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>
<token>
<id>75E5CEBE-6BBB-2FB5-A613-0368A361D0B6</id>
<username>sample_username</username>
<client_id>client_name_of_your_choosing</client_id>
<user_ip_address>your_origin_ip_address</user_ip_address>
</token>
