I am using the PayPal REST API for the first time and trying to get an authentication token but keep getting an "Invalid credentials error".
I am following Step 2 in the documentation found here:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/make-your-first-call/
I am using the Chrome extension "Advanced rest client"
Here are the values entered in the rest client:
Header:
content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept:application/json
Form data
grant_type:client_credentials
clientId:ASF6RRBP0uTq7FnC90tpFx7vfA-Pliw8uQDjv5RZ10Y_NVspuc88pUPLN6yM
secret: EAdx7BDKzWczDomYG2QDHu8jhaAXj4xDZLHadvL5aRfesjwo5c81zbSpRxuE
When I send the request I get the following error:
{
error: "invalid_client"
error_description: "Invalid client credentials"
}
Can anyone help me to figure what I am doing wrong here?
Form data should only contain
grant_type=client_credentials
and then add header
Authorization: Basic put base64of(clientid:secret)here
don't pass client id and secret in form data.

I am trying to retrieve information from Quay's API.
I have already generated "application token" in Quay by clicking on "Create Application Token".
Then I try to get information from any endpoint using the header Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>, but I am always getting a 401 response.
Am I missing any step? Am I doing something wrong?
I'm trying to create a new client in my springboot realm through the keycloak REST API using postman, but I'm getting an unknown error as the response.
The URL in post method is
localhost:8180/auth/admin/realms/springboot/clients
The header includes
content-type - application/json
authorization - bearer <access token...>
The json body is
{
"id":"1",
"clientId":"zzzzz",
"name":"aaaaa",
"description":"bbbbb",
"redirectUris":[ "\\" ],
"enabled":"true"
}
The response I'm getting is 403 : unknown error.
I obtained the same error because the client had not the necessary role.
Go to Clients -> {your-client-name}
Select the 'Service Account Roles' tab
Add the necessary role. (In my case I needed the admin role)
Hello Microsoft/Azure/Skype experts,
I'm tasked with accessing presence data from Skype For Business Online accounts from my macOS app (native).
I'm unfortunately stuck and i always get a 403 error when i access the autodiscover request and never get the link to the applications resource
I have been following this documentation
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/skype-sdk/ucwa/authenticationusingazuread
STEP 1
We have registered the app in the Azure Management Portal using our Office 365 account credentials.
We have used custome redirect URL (http://localhost)
Allow Implicit Flow is set to true in manifest
We pre-configure the permissions needed for Skype for business
online
STEP 2
Issuing a GET as specified in the documentation to initiate sign in and authorization check.
GET https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=c#####-4d41-485e-871f-0a22aa79e52b&redirect_uri=http://localhost
This returns a 200 OK.
STEP 3
We got the Auto discover URL as described in the documentation.
This is what i get - i use the domain marked in RED.
STEP 4
As per the documentation, they ask me to do this
Requesting an access token using implicit grant flow
So i issue a GET as described
https://login.microsoftonline.com/oauth2/authorize?
response_type=id_token &client_id=######-4d41-485e-871f-0a22aa79e52b
&redirect_uri=http://localhost
&state=8f0f4eff-360f-4c50-acf0-99cf8174a58b
&resource=https://webdirin1.online.lync.com
Now this shows the sign in page, i sign in and then it throws an error
AADSTS90014%3a+The+required+field+%27nonce%27+is+missing.
I researched and could not fix this error.
So after lots of research and looking at this Microsoft documentation LINK (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/v2-permissions-and-consent#requesting-individual-user-consent) , apparently there is another way of getting the bearer token.
STEP 4 - SECOND TRY
I then Request individual user consent by sending the SCOPE parameter for Skype for Business.
I then issue a GET request to
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=#######-4d41-485e-871f-0a22aa79e52b&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_mode=query&scope=https://api.skypeforbusiness.com/User.ReadWrite&state=12345
This returns an access code which i use in next step to get the TOKEN
STEP 5 - Get the bearer TOKEN
Issue a POST to following URL
https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token With the
following data in POST body
"grant_type": "authorization_code", "client_id":
"######-4d41-485e-871f-0a22aa79e52b", "scope":
"https://api.skypeforbusiness.com/User.ReadWrite", "code":
"OAQABAAIAAACEfexX.........", "redirect_uri": "https://localhost"
This returns the bearer token in the following response JSON
{
"access_token" = "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1........w4b-- gnWG_iOGtQ";
"expires_in" = 3599;
"ext_expires_in" = 3599;
scope = "https://api.skypeforbusiness.com/User.ReadWrite";
"token_type" = Bearer;
}
STEP 6
Yay! Got the bearer token at laaast!
Now back to the main documentation
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/skype-sdk/ucwa/authenticationusingazuread
And where we do this - 'Resending an autodiscovery request with the bearer token'
We execute a GET request to
https://webdirin1.online.lync.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/oauth/user
Now this, as per the documentation should return this JSON
{
"_links":{
"self":
{"href":"https://webdirX.online.lync.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root/user"},
"applications":
{"href":"https://webpoolXY.infra.lync.com/ucwa/oauth/v1/applications"}
}
}
BUT i GET A 403: PERMISSIONS denied error
<div class="content-container"><fieldset>
<h2>403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.</h2>
<h3>You do not have permission to view this directory or page
using the credentials that you supplied.</h3>
</fieldset></div>
So thus i have never got the applications url and I have checked the manifest, registration and i have no idea, why i get this error.
Any inputs would be appreciated.
For step 4, you need to specify nonce=somestring in the URL. Typically this should be a securely random value that is only used once. It can contain any value.
Also, you are only requesting an id token. Set response_type=id_token+token.
Getting auth token from uber is a two step process.
Please refer Uber Auth API
Ask the uber user to authorize : call GET https://login.uber.com/oauth/v2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id={client_id}&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}
Provide your client_id and redirect_uri specific to your website. If the authorization is successful, you will be redirected to your site with the code in the query parameter.
The the code you get in step 1 to retrieve auth token.
Send an HTTP POST request to https://login.uber.com/oauth/v2/token. Following should be the json you send to server:
{
"client_secret": "{client_secret}",
"client_id": "{client_id}",
"grant_type": "{authorization_code}",
"redirect_uri": "{redirect_uri}",
"code": "{insert authorization code obtained in previous step}"
}
In the step two I always get a error 400 with "invalid grant type" message. Please suggest where am I going wrong.
You need to send the parameter as form-data, not JSON. Take a look at the curl example in section 3 here: https://developer.uber.com/docs/authentication
The authorization and authentication documentation doesn't mention anything about JSON, therefore application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type is to be used to send the HTTP POST request to the /oauth/v2/token API endpoint
im trying to test the Survey Monkey api via the online test console but keep getting the following error:
https://developer.surveymonkey.com/io-docs (link)
It's asking me to enter the Authorisation:
Content-Type:
Authorization: bearer %s <--- not sure where to get this from? (Access token)
api_key:
JSON:
and so im getting a "errmsg": "Invalid \"Authorization\" data in request header"
Is this generated elsewhere.. or am i missing something
You get the access token when you perform OAuth - select the app from your existing client credentials, hit Authorize, log into your SurveyMonkey account, and it should auto-populate the 'Access Token' field. Then copy this into the Authorization header in the form "bearer (access token)" (without the quotes or parentheses).
Cheers,
Miles
The authorization header works for me with bearer XXXYYYZZ. Doc here: https://developer.surveymonkey.com/mashery/requests_responses
