Easy way to call Camunda REST API - TaskList and Operate using FeignClient

Camunda 8 Topics

I have problem with calling TaskList and Operate APi using FeingClient.

My Feign class

@FeignClient(value = "operate-client", url = "${api.operateUrl}", configuration = OperateClientConfiguration.class)
public interface OperateClient {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/v1/process-instances/{key}", consumes = "application/json", produces = "application/json")
    ProcessInstance getProcessInstance(@PathVariable Long key);

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/v1/process-instances/search", consumes = "application/json", produces = "application/json")
    ProcessInstance getProcessInstances();
}

Config Feign class

@Configuration
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class OperateClientConfiguration {

    private final TaskAdapterConfiguration taskAdapterConfiguration;

    @Bean
    public RequestInterceptor operateBearerTokenRequestInterceptor() {
        return template -> template.header("Authorization",
                String.format("Bearer %s", TaskAdapterBeanConfig.getToken(
                        taskAdapterConfiguration.getLoginUrl(),
                        taskAdapterConfiguration.getOperateClientId(),
                        taskAdapterConfiguration.getOperateClientSecret(),
                        TaskAdapterBeanConfig.AUDIENCE_OPERATE).getAccessToken()));
    }
}

I use credensials from operateAPI and they work fine

public ProcessInstance getProcessInstance(Long processInstanceKey) throws UnirestException, IOException {
        BearerToken operateToken = getToken(taskAdapterConfiguration.getLoginUrl(), taskAdapterConfiguration.getOperateClientId(), taskAdapterConfiguration.getOperateClientSecret(), AUDIENCE_OPERATE);

        String response = Unirest.get(taskAdapterConfiguration.getOperateUrl() + processInstanceKey)
                .header("Accept", "application/json")
                .header("Authorization", "Bearer " + operateToken.getAccessToken())
                .asJson()
                .getBody()
                .toString();

        return mapper.readValue(response, ProcessInstance.class);
    }

What I’m missing?

Hi @Darek_Krystian
You just mentioned that for operateAPI the credentials work fine. What is the problem with TaskList?

Hi,

When I use that Feign client I recive this error

feign.FeignException$BadRequest: [400 Bad Request] during [GET] to [https://bru-2.tasklist.camunda.io/{myClusterId}/v1/forms/OverrideClientForm?processDefinitionKey=2251799814748289] [TaskListClient#getForm(String,String,Long)]: [<html>

I had same error when I try to call any of endpoints in operate API with proper Feign and config

I ended using CamundaTaskListClient from

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.camunda</groupId>
            <artifactId>camunda-tasklist-client-java</artifactId>
            <version>8.4.0.7</version>
        </dependency>

Hi @Darek_Krystian, welcome to the forums! The path /v1/forms/OverrideClientForm isn’t a valid Tasklist API endpoint, so I suspect that’s why you’re getting a 400 error. Where did you get that path from? You can see all the available Tasklist endpoints here: Tasklist REST API | Camunda 8 Docs

I passed it as param in, its my Form id

@Darek_Krystian - oh my, I completely misread that! Apologies! It seems to work in Swagger; have you tried Postman (or similar REST client) to test the call? It would seem the issue might be the FeignClient. Unfortunately I’ve never used it so I can’t offer any advice in configuring it.
