I used Python to access bearer token and it returned the following error, can anyone please help?
import requests
OAUTH2_TOKEN_URL = 'https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token'
def get_access_token(bearer_credentials):
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Basic {}'.format(bearer_credentials),
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8'
}
data = 'grant_type=client_credentials'
response = requests.post(OAUTH2_TOKEN_URL, data=data, headers=headers)
if response.status_code != requests.codes.ok:
raise Exception('Invalid request or invalid credentials')
response_body = response.json()
if response_body.get('token_type', '') == 'bearer':
access_token = response_body.get('access_token')
print(access_token)
return access_token
else:
raise Exception(('Invalid token type of returned access token. Token type')
('is not bearer.'))
print(get_access_token('here is my bearer credential'))
The error was
