[Wikidata-tech] Re: Auth: Refresh Token

Hi Leszek,


I actually wondered about this, too 😊 It’s actually quite obvious, I should 
have seen it myself 😉

 

Now I am getting : {"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Client 
authentication failed","message":"Client authentication failed"} which is the 
expected result for my bogus credentials 😊

I also tried with the actual credentials and got my new token back.

 

All good now.

 

Thanks!

 

Tobias

Hi Tobias,

 

there has been a mistake/a bug in the example -- the URL included /w/rest.php 
twice, wrongly.

 

The URL part of curl request should rather be the following:

 

  --url https://www.wikidata.org/w/rest.php/oauth2/access_token \

 

Hope that helps.

 

Peace

Hi there,

 

I am trying to perform the token refresh operation 
(https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:REST_API/Authentication#Non-owner-only_clients),
 but I get a 404:

 

 curl --request POST \                                                          
               

  --url https://www.wikidata.org/w/rest.php/w/rest.php/oauth2/access_token \

  --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \

  --data grant_type=client_credentials \

  --data client_id=abc \             

  --data client_secret=xyz                 

 

{"messageTranslations":{"en":"The requested relative path 
(/w/rest.php/oauth2/access_token) did not match any known 
handler"},"httpCode":404,"httpReason":"Not Found"}%

 

Even with some invalid data for my client_id / client_Secret I would expect a 
different HTTP status telling me that the credentials are invalid etc.

 

Any idea what goes wrong?

 

Thanks and kind regards,

 

Tobias
