I realized that SharePoint exposes a REST GET API. While I am logged into SharePoint, I am able to invoke the API using my browser URL bar without explicitly writing credentials into the GET request. However, I would like to be able to make a request based on that same session in a JavaScript HTTP request (without filling in credentials). Is that possible? If so, how does one do it?

  • It depends on what variable I need to obtain. From what I can see it should either be a Bearer token or basic auth (username+password). I will have to look into that before I can answer you – mstaal Feb 24 '20 at 17:02
  • No, it does not answer my question. The answer does not tell me how to obtain the parameters I need. Or do you know the names of them, @ControlAltDel? – mstaal Feb 24 '20 at 19:31

  • From what I can see: No, it does not answer my question. It does _not_ tell me 1) what parameters to obtain, 2) whether they can be obtained, 3) how to make the request – mstaal Feb 24 '20 at 20:08
