Not able to pass Bearer token in headers of a GET request in Golang
Tahir Rauf
I am using oauth2 to access a third party API. I can get the access token alright, but when I try to call the API by passing the bearer token in the request headers it gives me 401 (Unauthorized) error. Although it works well when I try to do it via POSTMAN by passing headers as (Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKE>). But it does not work using go.
Here is the code sample.
url := "http://api.kounta.com/v1/companies/me.json"
var bearer = "Bearer " + <ACCESS TOKEN HERE>
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
req.Header.Add("authorization", bearer)
client := urlfetch.Client(context)
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
writer.Write([]byte(body)) // Gives 401 Unauthorized error, though same works using POSTMAN
