Creating bearer token is asking for host password for user

[NavMutal]

Im new to the twitter api and i’m trying to create a bearer token to start testing some of the api’s
but when entering:
curl -u “(api-key)-(api-secret-key)” / --data “grant_type=client_credentials” / “api.twitter /oauth2/token(but then correct url)”

It’s asking for "Enter host password for user ‘(api-key)-(api-secret-key)’: "
but i have no clue what the password should be
if i just hit enter i get “curl: (3) (url) malformed” , any ideas?

In your curl command, you should have the Consumer Key and Secret separated/joined by a colon :

curl -u "(api-key):(api-secret-key)" --data "grant_type=client_credentials" "https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token"

That tells curl to send the Key and Secret as the two halves of a username and password parameter. It sounds like you’ve not got a colon in there, so it assumes you’re sending just the username, and prompts for the password. You also need the protocol (https) on the URL.
