TypeScript Sample

The following TypeScript code sample programmatically manages the System User authentication process of obtaining an IBM Cloud IAM token and exchanging it for a Service ID token. You can utilize this code to start automating your data uploads to IBM Food Trust™.

TypeScript Code

const request = require('request-promise');
const errors  = require('request-promise/errors');
