When using the RC dev OAuth server I get "Invalid Client_ID" when I try to authenticate.
I am using the Client ID from my app
Do I need to encode this in anyway? If so how would I encode this in Python 3 lets say?
I have tried using base64 lib with no luck
Yes for getting token you need to encode both client Id and client secret in base64 format in Authorization header in normal API call as follows:
Authorization: Basic <clientId:client secret in base64>
Here are several examples of how to use Authorization Flow in a variety of languages: https://github.com/grokify/ringcentral-demos-oauth
Also oauth url should be http POST
Are the < and > needed?
I am creating a http get and passing the Client_ID parameter
What is the exact string I need to encode for the parameter in my get?
Client_ID =base64encode("Authorization: Basic <clientId:client secret>")
Header should be named Authorization and the value will be :
Basic client id: client secret ( here client I'd +client secret value with colon in base64 )
should I follow:
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Authorization
Do I need any params (i.e. client_id, response_type, redirect_uri, brand_id, state, prompt) or is the "Authorization" : "Basic base64encode(client-ID:client-secret)" header only needed?
Yes you need to pass the parameters as well . But check which type of Authorization your application follows.. is it Authorization code or password flow.. based on that the parameters and oauth url will change
I am trying to use the Python API
https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-python
Any pointers here - I do see an internal function for this purpose Platform._request_token but haven't been able to get it to work
I am using Authorization code
So it turns out I had a typo in the Client ID and now I am past this error.
I do have one followup question. Where do I get the "Application code grant" code to put into the post?
Does the /restapi/oauth URI on the dev portal have the ability to provide this?
You can check few examples here with python.. hope this will help you
