OAuth Connector [BETA]

BETA note: This node is still work in progress. Later versions might change the functionality, configuration or structure of the created tables.

This node supports OAuth 2.0 (RFC6749) and 1.0a (RFC5849) flows to authenticate with various APIs. The target group of this node are intermediate users with an understanding of OAuth fundamentals and developers. From a high-level perspective, this works as follows:

1. Register an “application” at the service with which you want to authenticate (the steps for this depend on the actual service – have a look at the developer API documentation). If you’re asked for a “Callback URL”, enter “http://localhost:55931”. After completing this step, you should get a personal “API Key” and “API Secret” (the exact terminology might vary).
2. Open the configuration of this node and select the appropriate “Service”. Enter the API Key and Secret which you received in the previous step into the corresponding fields.
3. Click the Authorize button. A browser window will open and (unless you’re already logged into the service) ask for login credentials and permission to access the service. Once you have authenticated successfully, you will see an “Access granted” page in your browser which you can close and go back to KNIME.
4. The dialog will show the acquired “Access token”. Close the dialog and execute the node. The table which is created on node execution will contain the access token (and probably other information such as a refresh token, scope, and expiration info). For your convenience, this information is also available as Flow Variable.
5. Use the obtained token and supply it to your nodes which access the REST API – we strongly recommend the rock-solid, battle-proof HTTP Retriever from Palladian. But other nodes, such as KNIME’s integrated REST client also work. Usually the token will be provided in an “Authorization” header, but this depends on the actual service – please refer to the documentation of the API you’re trying to access.
