Token Response

If the credentials are valid, any of the above calls will result in an HTTP 200 response that includes JSON with the token information:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
"access_token": "e66ce8de3d87454eb236211b4005d570",
"token_type": "",
"expires_in": 863999,
"example_parameter": ""
}

The returned fields are:

access_token
: the access token to be used in API calls

token_target
: target can be any product

token_type
: will always be blank

expires_in
: number of seconds until this token expires - in this case 863999 seconds = approximately 10 days

example_parameter
: will always be blank

A failed request will result in an HTTP 400 response that includes JSON with error information:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
"error":"invalid_request"
}

The error
value could be any one of the following:

invalid_request
: the client_id or client_secret field is missing

invalid_client
: the credentials supplied were invalid

invalid_grant
: the grant_type was not included or not set to client_credentials

unauthorized_client

unsupported_grant_type
