Javascript SDK CLIENT_ID

We have app in which we were using PHP SDK but unfortunately we don't have any updated PHP SDK 2.

Now we are trying to replace our code through javascript. We saw javascript use app's CLIENT_ID to genearte authenticate URL. But we are unable to find from where we can get CLIENT_ID for our app. Previously we were using App Key and App Secret for PHP SDK. None of these are working. Please help us to find out CLIENT_ID for our app.

 

Thanks

    That error indicates that the "token" a.k.a. "implicit" grant is disabled for that app. You can re-enable it using the "Allow implicit grant" option on the app's page on the App Console:

    The term "client ID" is just another name for "app key". You can get the app key for your app from the app's page on the App Console:

    If that's not working for you, please share the problematic code and the error you're getting.

      Error (400)It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app's developer, include the information below.
