Hi I keep getting the following response:
Authorization: Basic ******************************Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8Content-Length: 73* upload completely sent off: 73 out of 73 bytes< HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request* Server nginx/1.10.2 is not blacklisted< Server: nginx/1.10.2< Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 10:24:57 GMT< Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8< Transfer-Encoding: chunked< Connection: keep-alive< X-Application-Context: application:8080< Content-Language: en< WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="RingCentral REST API", error="invalid_client", error_description="Invalid client: "< RCRequestId: 0a67f30c-5735-11e7-a00b-005056bb26b9< AceRoutingKey: sjc11-c01-ace01.c83d65c2-46d3-11e7-ab8e-005056a73f60< X-Server-Name: sjc06-c01-hlb01< X-Request-Time: 0.010< X-Upstream-Server: 10.24.22.193:8080< X-Upstream-Status: 400< X-Upstream-HTime: 0.010< X-Upstream-RTime: 1498127097.763< X-Upstream-CTime: 0.000< X-Tcpinfo: 1000, 500, 10, 28960< RoutingKey: SJC11P01
Here is the snippet I am using to try and authenticate...
$headers = array(); $headers[] = 'Authorization: Basic 7he87Tb1TjWiy6L7waiCwg'; $headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8'; $curl_post_data = 'grant_type=password&username=[sandbox number]&extension=301&password=xxxxxx'; $service_url = 'https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/oauth/token'; $curl = curl_init($service_url); $fp = fopen('errorlog.txt', 'w'); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $curl_post_data); $curl_response = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); $resp = $curl_response; $obj = json_decode($resp, true);
Any ideas why I should be getting invalid client??
Thanks
James

Hi thanks for getting back to me, I'd forget about the base64... I'm now getting the following error
"message": "In order to call this API endpoint, application needs to have [Accounts] permission",
when I try to navigate to https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/
I've added the Read Accounts endpoint but still get the error...
Thanks

Hi James,
Please do not expose your credentials while you post anything here!
As for the error it looks like your Basic <<Auth Header>> seems wrong ! Please keep in mind, the Authorization would be the form:
Authorization : Basic <<base64 Encode of appKey:appSecret>>
base64 encode of appKey: appSecret. You can use https://www.base64encode.org/ to get the base64 encode of appKey followed by a colon (:) followed by an appSecret
You can find your appKey and appSecret under your application in the Developer Portal:
https://developer.ringcentral.com
You could take a look at our Getting Started Help Tutorial here:

If you are interested in using our Official SDK's, we have an Ringcentral-PHP SDK whihc you could take a look at. Kindly head over to our Github Page:
