OAuth 2 specification - Application-only

[ApoloRossi]

Hi everyone,

I’m facing the following problem. I created an application that makes the OAuth 2, no need user context.

I’m doing everything the documentation specifies and in fact when I make the “Authorization Basic” request I’m receiving a status 200 from API. But I’m not receiving the bearer token to allow me access the twitter endpoints.

Anyone knows what it could be?
I’ve created my account a few days, it could be for some kind of developer analyzes that is done before allow me access the endpoints? I really don’t know and I’ll be very thankfull for some help =)

There’s an example of how to do this using curl here.

This is what I’ve already done, the problem is that when I get the success state 200 from Oauth/Token, i’ts not being returned the access token inside the object.

The documentation about Application-only authentication says:

“… You can generate a bearer token by passing your consumer key and secret through the POST oauth2 / token endpoint.”

I do this. Recevie a Success from endpoint but i don’t receive the Bearer token.

I use a simplified version using curl that might be helpful here:

curl -u "API key:API secret key" \
   --compressed \
   --data 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
   'https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token'
