Connection to API failing (Python)

Perry Samson

My code is:

import requests

from oauthlib.oauth2 import BackendApplicationClient

from requests_oauthlib import OAuth2Session

# set your client ID and client secret

server = "my Panopto server"

client_id ="my client_id"

client_secret = "my client_server"

# set the token endpoint URL

token_url = 'https://'+server+'/Panopto/oauth2/connect/token'

# create a backend application client object

client = BackendApplicationClient(client_id=client_id)

# create an OAuth2 session object

oauth = OAuth2Session(client=client)

# get the access token using the client ID and client secret

try:

   token = oauth.fetch_token(token_url=token_url, client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret)

except Exception:

   traceback.print_exc()

   exit()

This fails, complaining:

oauthlib.oauth2.rfc6749.errors.InvalidClientError: (invalid_client)

I'm at a loss. I've checked the validity of client_id and client_secret.

Any suggestions?

@Joe, that must be a joke. I opened a ticket (API related) and was directed here to ask questions and my ticket was closed!
