    I am working in Node.js and am able to get a POST request to get a token ok in the format below

    { "accesstoken": "9s1jsCNxpF1swHGQGmXXZhgpQTPpxII6BYAwtlNuEUxD0614nDBmMcGLs2zzTBJeJQJZbgHeZ3QviEoXXXXXX", "tokentype": "bearer", "expires_in": 86399 }

    When i then pass that to another app in Node using the SDK function getMe(yourAccessToken) {

    platformClient.ApiClient.instance.setAccessToken(yourAccessToken); / let apiInstance = new platformClient.TokensApi(); apiInstance.getTokensMe() .then((data) => { console.log(getTokensMe success! data: ${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}); }) .catch((err) => { console.log('There was a failure calling getTokensMe'); //console.error(err); }) } i get the error

    body: { status: 401, code: 'authentication.required', message: 'No authentication bearer token specified in authorization header. },

    from the SDK article located https://developer.mypurecloud.com/api/rest/client-libraries/javascript/TokensApi.html#getTokensMe i was hoping that i just pass the variable that has the token and that hosts it. Let me down gently if i am missing a step :)

    Nice token format. It's very useful more than what I aspect. Thanks

    I just put together a quick test app for this and it's working correctly. There is some issue in your code that's causing the auth token not to be set correctly.

    const platformClient = require('purecloud-platform-client-v2');

const client = platformClient.ApiClient.instance;
const yourAccessToken = 'xxx';

client.setAccessToken(yourAccessToken);

let apiInstance = new platformClient.TokensApi();

apiInstance
	.getTokensMe()
	.then((data) => {
		console.log(`getTokensMe success! data: ${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}`);
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log('There was a failure calling getTokensMe');
		console.error(err);
	});

    Thank you for checking. Should the yourAccessToken be just the entire array or just the line "access_token": "9s1jsCNxpF1swHGQGmXXZhgpQTPpxII6BYAwtlNuEUxD0614nDBmMcGLs2zzTBJeJQJZbgHeZ3QviEoXXXXXX",

    The response from the POST endpoint you're referring to is a JSON object. Only use the value of the access_token property.
