I am trying to use the Foursquare REST APIs in RESTClient(firefox).
I run a sample like,
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/users/{USER_ID}?v={USER_ID}
Also I set the Authorization like,
Authorization: Bearer
But I found the error as,
code: 400,
errorType: invalid_auth
Please anyone give an idea how to set the Authorization Header for the Foursquare.
I have done all the things which is mentioned on auth overview of developerfoursquare page and got the access token.

To use foursquare you need to authenticate first
https://foursquare.com/oauth2/authenticate
?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
&response_type=code
&redirect_uri=YOUR_REGISTERED_REDIRECT_URI
https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/auth
once you get token back you can use any other endpoint
https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/40a55d80f964a52020f31ee3?oauth_token=XXX&v=YYYYMMDD.

I'm building a SaaS project that requires authentication (duh!) and for that I am using Auth0.
I've managed to the steps detailed here successfully.
Code from above link:
https://YOUR_DOMAIN/authorize?
response_type=code&
client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&
redirect_uri=https://YOUR_APP/callback&
scope=SCOPE&
audience=API_AUDIENCE&
state=STATE
But I'm not sure what to do when I redirect to the redirect_url (here my dashboard url, e.g: dashboard.example.com). I mean I don't know how to use this code.
I get the code appended to url after redirect, so I think everything's working, but am not sure how to use it further to populate the dashboard with user details and retrieve content.
Do I use my API endpoint here instead of the dashboard url?
Hope my question is clear.
Any help would be wonderful!
Thanks in advance!
Edit:
I am using Universal Login, not using any SDK as of now.
After you receive the code you will exchange it for tokens via the POST /oauth/token endpoint.
Here is an example code exchange request from the Authentication API docs
POST https://YOUR_DOMAIN/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=authorization_code&
client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&
code_verifier=CODE_VERIFIER&
code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE&
redirect_uri=https://YOUR_APP/callback
Then, you can use the ID token to populate your user's info, and the access token to retrieve other data from your backend API.
I want to get the Authorization code to generate ACCESS TOKEN and REFRESH TOKEN for my Application. I'm trying to get the job done using POSTMAN. But this seems not working. I'm attaching a screenshot of POSTMAN. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Any useful suggestion or alternative solution is appreciated.

use this public collection as an example
It will be easier to do this using settings within the Postman GUI. There is an Authorization tab in which you can specify auth type, configure new tokens, add your client id & secret, etc.
After many tries, I figured it out myself. To Generate the Refresh token and access token the first time, I needed Authorization Code. I thought I need to generate it again and again but it Turns out I needed it only once and when I got the access_token and refresh_token, I can easily generate access_token by using refresh_token.
Here's the corrected API request flow-
Requesting Authorization code
Using Web
Requesting ACCESS TOKEN and REFRESH TOKEN
Regenerating Access Token using refresh token
So I generated access token and access token secret on Twitter
However's every time I make a GET request on Postman I get bad authentication data:
I copy & paste the access token after "Basic" in the Value so I don't know why it's not working?? I would be so grateful if anyone helped!!!
PS I didn't put anything in the authorization tab on Postman. Not sure if that's relevant:
You should be getting GET not POST for statuses/user_timeline as per Twitter API User Timeline
GET statuses/user_timeline
Hey guys I ran into a weird issue with trying to use the Yammer API's Download URL.
Since this is an API call, you would think that you could just append your users
access token to the end of the API URI to initiate a direct download of the file,
but it seems that this will lead to a 401 Unauthorized when trying to actually use it?
My api urls are set up as so
https://www.yammer.com/domain.com/api/v1/uploaded_files/{file_number}/version/{version_number}/download/somepdf.pdf?access_token={access_token}
Does anyone know why this does not work?
?access_token={access_token} will not work the token should be in the http header and not the url after authentication.
If you are trying to access Yammer programmatically from an application be aware of the following:
Around December 2013 Yammer has slightly modified the authentication process.
By then the access_token could be part of the URL as described in the question.
Calling the API with the old code results in a HTTP 401 error. By now it is important to transport a Bearer Token in the HTTP Request like this:
GET /api/v1/messages/following.json HTTP/1.1
Host: www.yammer.com
Authorization: Bearer abcDefGhi
abcDefGhi is the token gathered after the oauth authorization.

http://developer.yammer.com/authentication/
I would like to use google fusion tables, for which I need to login first.
I do a http request and get the "auth" token as response.
But now I stuck and don't know how to use this token?
I could neither find any google docs on this nor this thread helped: Google Auth using Token
Because adding the auth token to the url does not work.
You use the authorization code to get an access_token.
This has useful information:
https://developers.google.com/usiontables/docs/articles/oauthfusiontables
You then send the access_token with your sql query.
