how can I make a curl request in my browser monitor

jordan_rose — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 19:48:30 GMT

As one of my synthetic events in my browser monitor I have need to make a curl request and capture some of the return data to use in another step. I am struggling on how to convert to js or if this is possible.

Any help on this is very appreciated.

Here is post request.

curl --location --request POST 'https://someurl.com/auth/oauth2/access_token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'Cookie: NSC_bvuifoujdbujpo-tuhb_443=ffffffffaf1a5c9b45525d5f4f58455e445a4a4229a0; NSC_jh-tuhb_443=ffffffffaf1a5c9445525d5f4f58455e445a4a4216cb' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=authorization_code' \
--data-urlencode 'code=LLz_H3aMMGZle7PtqJxrA8cj0fU' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=902c9ae8b9ac98fb12a785e925f889a0' \
--data-urlencode 'redirect_uri=https://oidcdebugger.com/debug' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=fd7d4bf54d68edc06559ffdb5f0265a8'

Something like this:

api.startAsyncSyntheticEvent();
fetch('<yoururl>', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Cookie: NSC_bvuifoujdbujpo-tuhb_443=ffffffffaf1a5c9b45525d5f4f58455e445a4a4229a0; NSC_jh-tuhb_443=ffffffffaf1a5c9445525d5f4f58455e445a4a4216cb',
		'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    },    
    body: new URLSearchParams({
        'grant_type': 'authorization_code',
        'code': 'LLz_H3aMMGZle7PtqJxrA8cj0fU',
        'client_id': '902c9ae8b9ac98fb12a785e925f889a0',
		'redirect_uri': 'https://oidcdebugger.com/debug',
		'client_secret': 'fd7d4bf54d68edc06559ffdb5f0265a8'
    }
}).then(function(response) {
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw Error(response.status + ":" + response.statusText);
        }
        return response;
   }).then(response => response.text()).then(text => {
        try {
            api.info('Resp length:  ' + text.length);
            if (text.indexOf('code') >= 0) {
                <your code to retrieve token>
                api.setValue("token", token);
                api.finish();
            } else {
                api.fail("Invalid Response");
            }
        } catch (err) {
            api.fail("Failed to Execute");
        }
   }).catch(function(error) {
        api.fail(error); 
   });
