Hello.

We are in the migration proccess from server-client to powerserver Web. We have a new necessity for our application that is calling an API using Auth 2.0

We have look out the help reference and we have seen that there are two example ways for implement it:

1º (Recommended) Using OAuthClient.

In this example, following objects are used

OAuthClient
TokenRequest
TokenResponse
OAuthRequest
ResourceResponse

None of them are powerserver Web supported.

2º (using HTTPClient)

Following objects are used

HttpClient
CoderObject
Jsonpackage

Neither CoderObject, nor Jsonpackage are Web supported. For Jsonpackage we can use supoorted JsonGenerator and JsonParser.

But for CoderObject, ¿Is there any altenative in powerserver WEB?

I have seen in some post, that CoderObject will be a priority in the next major version (2021 I think). Until that date, could we use any alternative to calling an API using Auth 2.0.?, Which one?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Juan, 

We are adding these objects (OAuthClient, HTTPClient, JSONPackage, etc.) to PowerServer Web. Yes you can expect them in the coming PowerServer major version that will come out around the end of this year.

Note that we do need some time to sync the features from PowerBuilder to PowerServer.

Best regards... Julie

Hi Juan;

  FWIW: To support oAuth 2.0, JSON, Encode/Decode, etc functionality in PowerServer Apps today (for both Web & Mobile) - I would create a Web Service to "broker" these missing pieces of functionality. Then it would work for   any client App type. Food for thought.

Regards ... Chris

I don't know why they didn't include all the objects for web apis in PS2019.   they only gave us half of what we need.

 

in the meantime you can use rolands api calls:

this is  ONLY for web calls, it won't work for mobile

Mike,

this takes time to trickle through as new PB features need to be also implemented in PowerServer target languages.

And, honestly, recently Appeon have delivered *a lot* of them. :-)

Best,
