ColdFusion 11 and Obtaining Authorization Token

API
7

Just to share some more information in case others come across this thread, Ben Nadel is a great resource for Cold Fusion demos and knowledge.

He wrote up a very nice blog on Asynchronous CFThread Tags. Only reason I didn’t come across this sooner was because I didn’t know of the terminology to search for.

EDIT:
Below is the code which ended up resolving my issue. I needed to use the CFHTTP (method = POST) with all of the parameters specified. After that, I needed to deserialize the JSON which was resturned by Twitch. Deserializing the JSON allowed the variables to become accessible to ColdFusion functions.

<cftry>
    <cfhttp url="https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/oauth2/token" method="POST" throwOnError="no" redirect="no" timeout="10" result="token_result">
        <cfhttpparam name="client_id" type="FormField" value="#c_id#">
        <cfhttpparam name="client_secret" type="FormField" value="#c_secret#">
        <cfhttpparam name="grant_type" type="FormField" value="authorization_code">
        <cfhttpparam name="redirect_uri" type="FormField" value="#redirect_uri#">
        <cfhttpparam name="code" type="FormField" value="#code#">
    </cfhttp>

    <cfdump var="#token_result#">

    <cfif isJSON(token_result.Filecontent)>
        <cfset auth_data = DeserializeJSON(#token_result.Filecontent#)>
        <cfdump var="#auth_data#">
    <cfelse>
        <!--- Enter Error Handeling --->
    </cfif>

    <cfcatch type="any">
        <cfoutput>
            #cfcatch.message#
        </cfoutput>
    </cfcatch>
</cftry>
