AJO Custom Action & Data Source - How to catch the Header values from Response ?

Hello,

 

In one of our clients' use case, we are working with an external system to which we need to make two API calls.

Call 1: Will give an API token. This API token is sent in response header (not in response body)

Call 2: Using the token from call 1, we have to call another API end point to save/update some data.

 

I know that in AJO custom action & data source, we can get the response body. But I am not sure how to get the response header.

 

Please share some ideas/thoughts how approach to this problem. 

 

Thank you and have a nice day ahead.

You can use it on the following lines, specifying the type of authorization as "Custom Authorization"

 

This will incorporate the access token in the outbound api call via custom actions https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/journey-optimizer/using/configuration/configure-journeys/data-source-journeys/external-data-sources#custom-authentication-access-token

Could you share the requirement as to why response headers are needed ?

@mohan_dugganab thanks for your response.

 

The external system is designed to send API token in response header ONLY. 

So, we need a way to retrieve data from response header.

    Could you let me know if you're using custom authentication to generate token? If yes, the token generated from call 1 will pass as a request header parameter for call 2.
