Using the API Explorer and entering my app information, I am getting a 500 error code. Here are the requests and the response from API Explorer: CURL: curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" --header "Accept: application/json" --header "Authorization: Basic xxx" -d "username=xxx&password=xxx&extension=xxx&grant_type=password" "https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/oauth/token" REQUEST URL: https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/oauth/token RESPONSE BODY: { "errorCode": "05ed440a-bd60-43a8-a5bb-dcc2c697d36a", "message": "Internal Server Error. Consult RC Support." } RESPONSE HEADER: { "date": "Fri, 30 Dec 2016 17:46:47 GMT", "content-type": "application/json;charset=UTF-8" }

500 code issues are mostly from server side if the service is down for a particular moment. This can be due to various reasons like high traffic, network issue or maintenance mode.

The service may come up after some time automatically resolving the issue

Outstanding! That was easy.

Occasionally (as with almost any API), there can be transient "snaffus", which appears to have been the case here.

Hrm. That is odd and unwanted.

Could you try once more, now that some time has passed, and see if you receive the same result (just in case this was a transient 500 error) please?
