Java authentication example

The following codes demonstrates how to call the Motors@Work authentication (“GET”) endpoint using Java and basic authentication:

private void sendGet(String user, String password) throws Exception {

String userEncryption = String.format(“%s:%s”,user,password);

userEncryption=”Basic”+Base64.getEncoder()

     .encodeToString(userEncryption.getBytes());

String url = “https://www.motorsatwork.com/api/1.0/rest/test”;

URL obj = new URL(url);

HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) obj.openConnection();

     con.setRequestMethod(“GET”);

//add request header

con.setRequestProperty(“Authorization”, userEncryption);

int responseCode = con.getResponseCode();

System.out.println(“\nSending ‘GET’ request to URL : ” + url);

System.out.println(“Response Code : ” + responseCode);

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(

new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream()));

String inputLine;

StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();

while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {

     response.append(inputLine);

}

in.close();

//print result

System.out.println(response.toString());

}
