How to Pass Custom Data to an Authorization API

In some scenarios, you may need to send custom data, such as cookies, to the authorize API to confirm if the requestor is logged-in or to process the data. This can be achieved using the authorizeAPI header property.

Sending Custom Data in JavaScript

To send custom data to the authorize API, you can use the following code snippet:

authorizeAPI: {
    url: authorizationServerUrl,
    headers: {
        "Cookie": "Set-Cookie: sessionId=38afes7a8",
    }
}

Retrieving Custom Data in Backend

To retrieve the custom data in your backend authorize API endpoint, you can use the following code snippet in C#:

[HttpPost]
        [Route("GetDetails")]
        public string GetDetails([FromBody] object embedQuerString)
        {
            bool isHeaderPresent = Request.Headers.ContainsKey("Cookie");
            if(isHeaderPresent){
                Request.Headers.TryGetValue("Cookie", out var headerValue);
                var cookieValue = headerValue;            
            }
            
          .......
        }
