how to get access token using grant_type:client_crede...

[rsjakka]

I am trying to fetch the access token using the grant_type = client_credentials. But I am getting an error "invalid client". Can anyone help how to get the access token by using grant_type client_credentials. Do we need any permission to get the grant_type as client credentials?

Below is the snippet which i am trying to hit the token usint Python.

token_url = 'https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/token/v1'
payload = {'grant_type': 'client_credentials'}
response = requests.post(url=token_url, auth=(client_id,client_secret), data=payload)
print(response.text)

Please provide the solution to resolve it. Also, please let me know the validity of access_token once we generated.

Can you please try using the below request while replacing the actual client ID and client secret?

curl -i -v "https://api.omniture.com/token" -u 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID:YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET' -d "grant_type=client_credentials"

lt's likely you are entering the incorrect client ID or secret. I'd recommend that you reach out to Client Care with the details and they will let you know the reason.

I copied the client id and secret from the console Oauth Web. But still it is not working

I think the access token is needed for JWT integration and not OAuth integration. Can you check? It's not possible for me to tell the exact reason without looking into the details of the integration and your setup.
