Client Credentials Flow - Authentication Issues

Error: "invalid_client"

• Check you have provided the correct ‘Client ID’ in your request payload using the header ‘client_id’. Your Client ID is available on your app listing in the Developer Portal

• It’s possible that the ‘Authorization’ base64 secret you have provided maybe invalid.

• Ensure you have provided the encoded version as the value for the Authorization header set to ‘Basic’ (Basic XBASE64SECRETX)

Error: "invalid_request"

• Check you have provided the following values and headings: grant_type=client_credentials client_id=XCLIENTIDX Authorization: Basic XBASE64SECRETX content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Example POST Request (only applies to client_credentials flow)

You can use the example POST request to obtain an access token, simply replace XCLIENTIDX with your client ID and XBASE64SECRETX with your encoded Client ID and Secret:

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://connect.reapit.cloud/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=XCLIENTIDX' \
  --header 'Authorization: Basic XBASE64SECRETX' \
  --header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
