How can I solve this problem? I made a post request to get the token, but when I return it, it returns as undefined, but when I print it, it shows the token OK.
function getToken() {
// The req.query object has the query params that
// were sent to this route. We want the `code` param
axios({
// make a POST request
method: "post",
// to the Github authentication API, with the client ID, client secret
// and request token
url: ` https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/oauth/token?client_id=${clientID}&client_secret=${clientSecret}&grant_type=client_credentials`,
// Set the content type header, so that we get the response in JSOn
headers: {
accept: "application/json",
},
}).then((response) => {
// Once we get the response, extract the access token from
// the response body
accessToken = response.data.access_token;
//console.log(accessToken);
return(accessToken);
});
};
You could do something like this
async function getToken() {
// The req.query object has the query params that
// were sent to this route. We want the `code` param
const response = await axios({
// make a POST request
method: "post",
// to the Github authentication API, with the client ID, client secret
// and request token
url: ` https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/oauth/token?client_id=${clientID}&client_secret=${clientSecret}&grant_type=client_credentials`,
// Set the content type header, so that we get the response in JSOn
headers: {
accept: "application/json",
},
});
return response.data.access_token
};
const token = await getToken();
console.log(token)
