See more Salesforce Examples

Demonstrates how to make a simple Salesforce REST API call to test a previously obtained access token.
Note
This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// This example does the following:

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

var http = new CkHttp();

// 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

var json = new CkJsonObject();
success = json.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/_salesforce.json");
if (success == false) {
    console.log("Failed to load OAuth2 access token.");
    return;
}

// 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.AuthToken = json.StringOf("access_token");

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

var sbResponseBody = new CkStringBuilder();
success = http.QuickGetSb(sbUrl.GetAsString(),sbResponseBody);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Response status code = " + http.LastStatus);

var jsonResponse = new CkJsonObject();
jsonResponse.LoadSb(sbResponseBody);
jsonResponse.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(jsonResponse.Emit());

// 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"
