Missing Scope

Hi,

 

I'm facing an issue (Missing Scope ) with the access token that is generated using refresh token, appkey and appsecret.

But it works fine with the access token that is generated from developer console. I have given all scope permission to the app but not sure what is wrong.

 

Thanks

  • A 'missing_scope' error indicates that while the app is permitted to use that scope, the particular access token you're using to make the API call does not have that scope granted. Also, be aware that just adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens or refresh tokens.

    That being the case, to make any API calls that require that scope, you'll need to get a new access token and refresh token with that scope.

    Refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.
