Hi. I'm new to working with Apache Nifi. Currently, I've Apache Nifi 2.3.0 I'm trying to get access_token so that I can use it in future API calls. Currently, I use Postman to test getting access_token value and it works. I want to do this via Nifi. Here is what I setup Postman to get access_token I'm currently using Postman in order to call an API that generates access_token that I will use later to call other APIs. I want to do the same using Apachi Nifi 2.3.0. The Apache Nifi should generate a file called tokens.txt that contains the access token. Here is what I do in Postman: POST URL: https://URL/auth/token Headers: Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8 Authorization: Basic <BASE_64_ENCODED_CLIENT_CREDENTIALS> Body: grant_type: client_credentials The response is in JSON format and contains the access token, expiration time of the access token. Here is an example response: { "access_token": "eyJ4NXQjUzI1NiI...KtK5elB38rcAbgFtVP9A", "token_type": "Bearer", "expires_in": 3600 } What do I need to achieve? I want to simulate the above in Apache Nifi where I get the access_token and then store it in a file. Every time a new access token arrives, it needs to re-write the value. I tried to use the following components GenerateFlowFile -> EncodeContent -> UpdateAttribute (headers and body) -> InvokeHTTP -> LogAttribute (API-Response) -> EvaluateJsonPath -> UpdateAttribute (filename) -> PutFile But for some reason, the InvokeHTTP was not working (not getting the response in JSON format).
