Test Salesforce OAuth2 Access Token

See more Salesforce Examples

Demonstrates how to make a simple Salesforce REST API call to test a previously obtained access token. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

# This example does the following:

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

$http = New-Object Chilkat.Http

# 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

$json = New-Object Chilkat.JsonObject
$success = $json.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/_salesforce.json")
if ($success -eq $false) {

    exit
}

# 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

# The expected JSON response is something like this:
