To consume an OAuth2 REST API from the server side of a Blazor application, you can follow these steps: Install the necessary NuGet packages: You will need to install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication and Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OAuth packages to handle the OAuth2 authentication process. Configure the OAuth2 authentication options: In your Startup.cs file, add the following code to the ConfigureServices method: services.AddAuthentication(options => { options.DefaultScheme = "Cookies"; options.DefaultChallengeScheme = "oidc"; }) .AddCookie("Cookies") .AddOpenIdConnect("oidc", options => { options.Authority = "https://example.com"; // Replace with the base URL of the OAuth2 provider options.ClientId = "your-client-id"; options.ClientSecret = "your-client-secret"; options.ResponseType = "code"; options.Scope.Add("openid"); options.Scope.Add("profile"); options.SaveTokens = true; }); Make sure to replace the Authority , ClientId , and ClientSecret values with the appropriate values provided by the OAuth2 provider. Use the authenticated user's access token: Once the user is authenticated, you can use their access token to make API calls to the third-party API. You can access the access token in your server-side code using the HttpContext object. For example: var accessToken = await HttpContext.GetTokenAsync("access_token"); // Use the access token to make API calls Remember to handle token expiration and refresh as per the OAuth2 provider's guidelines. By following these steps, you can consume an OAuth2 REST API from the server side of your Blazor application and make API calls to a third-party API.

using System; using System.Net.Http; using System.Threading.Tasks; public class ApiService { private const string ApiUrl = "YOUR_API_URL"; private const string ClientId = "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"; private const string ClientSecret = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"; public async Task GetApiResponseAsync() { // Obtain Access Token using OAuth 2.0 string accessToken = await GetAccessTokenAsync(); // Make API request using the Access Token string apiUrl = $"{ApiUrl}/api/endpoint"; using (var httpClient = new HttpClient()) { httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", $"Bearer {accessToken}"); HttpResponseMessage response = await httpClient.GetAsync(apiUrl); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { // Parse and return the API response return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); } else { // Handle error throw new Exception($"API request failed with status code: {response.StatusCode}"); } } } private async Task GetAccessTokenAsync() { // Implement logic to obtain the access token using OAuth 2.0 // This may involve making a request to the authorization server // and exchanging client credentials for an access token. // Dummy implementation for demonstration purposes // Replace this with the actual logic to obtain the access token return "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"; } }

1. Configure AppSettings In your Blazor WebAssembly project, open the wwwroot/appsettings.json file, and add the configuration for your API: { "ApiSettings": { "BaseUrl": "https://your-api-base-url.com", "ClientId": "your-client-id", "ClientSecret": "your-client-secret" } } 2. Create a Configuration Class Create a C# class to represent your configuration settings. This class will be used to read the settings from appsettings.json. For example: public class ApiSettings { public string BaseUrl { get; set; } public string ClientId { get; set; } public string ClientSecret { get; set; } } 3. Register Configuration in Startup.cs In the Startup.cs file of your Blazor WebAssembly project, register the configuration class: public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // Other configurations... services.Configure (Configuration.GetSection("ApiSettings")); // Other configurations... } 4. Create a Service for API Interaction Create a service class that will handle the interactions with the OAuth2-protected API using the configured HttpClient: public class ApiService { private readonly HttpClient _httpClient; private readonly ApiSettings _apiSettings; public ApiService(HttpClient httpClient, IOptions apiSettings) { _httpClient = httpClient; _apiSettings = apiSettings.Value; _httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(_apiSettings.BaseUrl); } // Add methods for interacting with the API, e.g., GetAccessToken, CallApiEndpoint, etc. } 5. Use the Service in Blazor Components Inject the ApiService into your Blazor components and use it to interact with the OAuth2-protected API: @page "/somepage" @inject ApiService ApiService Call API Example Call API @code { private async Task CallApi() { // Use ApiService methods to interact with the API // Example: var accessToken = await ApiService.GetAccessToken(); // var apiResponse = await ApiService.CallApiEndpoint(); } } By following these steps, you can set up and consume an OAuth2-protected API in a Blazor WebAssembly application. The ApiService class encapsulates the logic for handling authentication and making requests to the API, and you can use dependency injection to inject it into your Blazor components where needed.
