“Unauthorized” response when cityiq API
I am trying to access the Current powered by GE CityIQ API to develop a parking app, I followed the API documentation however I cannot seem to successfully query because I do not have an access token. I have a user name and password as well as the urls and predix zone id for parking provided by the city I am using. When I try and run my javascript and log my access token the response is “Unauthorized”. Do i have to raise a request to the city for the access token?
The code is written in javascript and is using node.js and node-fetch.
Here is my code:
const fetch = require("node-fetch")
function request(url, headers, body) {
let options = { headers: headers, body:body}
return fetch(url, options).then(result => {
if (result.status>=400) return(result.statusText)
else return result.text().then(txt => {
try { return JSON.parse(txt) }
catch (err) { return txt }
})
})
}
// my credentials
const developer, uaa, metadataservice, eventservice, predixZone
developer = '{user}:{pass}'
uaa='{uaaURL}'
eventservice='{eventURL}'
metadataservice='{metadataURL}'
predixZone='{predixzoneParking}'
async function example(event){
let devToken = (await request(uaa+'?grant_type=client_credentials', {authorization: 'Basic '+developer}))
console.log(devToken)
let output = (await request(metadataservice+'/assets/search?q=eventTypes:PKIN',{authorization: 'Bearer '+devToken,'predix-zone-id':predixZone})).content
console.log(output)
}
example()
What am I doing wrong or probably missing?

It looks like you have not base64 encoded your username and password.
At the top of your code:
const btoa = str => new Buffer(str).toString('base64')
When you declare your user name and pass:
developer = btoa('{user}:{pass}')
