In an AngularJS Controller, I need to access the OAuth 2.0 Access Token sent with the HTTP GET Request to this particular View (and therefore Controller). I want to reuse this Access Token when calling other APIs, as part of the Authorization header (Authorization: Bearer ).

Can please someone tell me how I can access data in the GET Request header inside a Controller?

Any hint is highly appreciated. Thanks, Dominik

Are you making a GET request from within a controller? It's generally bad practice to do that. Instead:

  1. Create a service that will make the GET request (your access token can live as a private service property). The service can have multiple methods that use the same token.
  2. Inject the service in your controller and call the service method you need to pass the data to your controller.

This way, you can store your access token in one place, and re-use it for all your data calls.

To help you further, please give more detail (including code) about what you're doing now and what you'd like to achieve.

Yep, and even if it's bad practice, it's just for a small PoC app. :-) What I wanna do is the following: - Extract the Bearer token from the GET Request to this Controller (or Service) - Store the Bearer token temporarily - Add the Bearer token to a new GET Request (AuthZ header) Unfortunatley, I have no code to share.
