Hello! I can’t seem to figure out how to get a token, using version

2.x.x

of the

@ory/hydra-client

TypeScript lib (the autogenerated one), for a client credentials flow. e.g. the equivalent of this sort of call:

curl -X POST '<http://localhost:4444/oauth2/token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  --user '${CLIENT_ID}:${CLIENT_SECRET}' \
  --data-raw 'grant_type=client_credentials&scope=${SCOPE}'

The above call works, but is this possible to do using the

@ory/hydra-client

TypeScript lib? This method seems closest:

oauth2TokenExchange(
  grantType: string,
  clientId?: string,
  code?: string,
  redirectUri?: string,
  refreshToken?: string,
  options?: any
): AxiosPromise<OAuth2TokenExchange>

But it’s unclear how I’d provide the client secret or scope, if that is the right method to use here.

You probably shouldn't use the hydra client to perform regular OAuth. You should use a dedicated OAuth library

Hello friend.

oauth2TokenExchange

is indeed the correct function to use in order to receive a token. This function is part of the OAuth2Api class. You have to initiate an OAuth2Api object which needs a Configuration object parameter. In the configuration object, you can set hydra's public URL, username = your client_id and password = your client_secret. After that, you should be able to use the

oauth2TokenExchange

function to get a token. 🙂

Awesome, ty! That worked 🙂
