Get Video Title

Milad Malakooti · June 30

Hello,

I am building a script to get a video ID and return its title, but I'm stuck on authentication.

I created a User-Based Server Application API client. I also created an internal Panopto user account with a password (not through SSO). When I try to get an OAuth2 token using the password grant type, I get this error: "invalid_grant" with message "Invalid username or password."

I can log into Panopto directly with this account using the same credentials, so the account and password work. But the API rejects them.

Here's what I'm sending:

POST https://clu.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/oauth2/connect/token

Parameters:

grant_type: password
client_id: [redacted]
client_secret: [redacted]
username: [redacted]
password: [redacted]
scope: api

Is the User-Based Server Application type configured correctly to support password grant on our instance? What could cause this error if the credentials are valid?

Thank you.

Hi Milad,

Depends on your script. Does this works with Postman?

Thanks,

Hello Adis,

I don't use Postman; instead, I use the terminal (curl), and it doesn't work.

Hi Milad,

Here is my cURL that is working, and yes you would use 'User Based Server Application' client type.

curl --location 'https://xxx.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/oauth2/connect/token' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \

--data-urlencode 'grant_type=password' \

--data-urlencode 'client_id=[redacted]' \

--data-urlencode 'client_secret=[redacted]' \

--data-urlencode 'username=[redacted]' \

--data-urlencode 'password=[redacted]!' \

--data-urlencode 'scope=api'

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Adis

Thank you Adis,

I created a user based server application but I get this error:
{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Invalid username or password"}

I am sure of the username and password, and the access for the specific user account,

Any advice is appreciate it

Hi Milad,

Can you send me info about user and which api client you use in private messages.
I can check then on your site, but I would assume you use the username wrong probably.

Thanks,

Adis
