I'm trying to get a token to access Reddits API. I can get one perfectly fine with
curl -X POST -d 'grant_type=password&username=[MYNAME]&password=[MYPASS]' --user 'CLIENTID:CLIENTSECRET' https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token This gives me what I need. I kind of want to retrieve it directly from julia (maybe to be used in a Reddit.jl-package), but I can't get it to work. I would have guessed that the following post-request was the same, but it seems not to be the case. enc = bytestring(encode(Base64, "CLIENTID:CLIENTSECRET")) post(URI("https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token";), "grant_type=password&username=[MYNAME]&password=[MYPASS]"; headers = Dict("Authorization" => "Basic $enc", "User-Agent" => UserAgent)) % UserAgent is a string here Do you have any idea why these POST requests are not the same ? They can't be, as the Julia post call gives me "{\"error\": \"unsupported_grant_type\"}" Is there maybe a way for me to see the POST request produced by post()? Thanks for the help in advance.
