Creating token return 405 error

[zoodiabloc]

I was following documentation API For Online Go (OGS) · Apiary on creating a token.

In Postman I set the request method, url and the parameters like this
POST http://online-go.com/oauth2/token?username=&password=&client_id=<client_id>&client_secret=<client_secret>&grant_type=password

The application is public and Authorization Grant Type.

I am not quite sure what I did wrong here. I am receiving a 405 error code.

Can someone help?

I don’t really understand this stuff, but I remember I was able to get Termsuji working by using Client Type: public and Authorization Grant Type: password.

Termsuji: Play Go in your terminal (if you really want to)

Since most types expect a client secret and I can’t store one in the client (and because the token needs to be able to act on belhalf of the user), I’ve set my Oauth client type to “Public” and the grant type to “resource owner password based”, it should work like that. Thanks for the support, everyone! I’ll look at an emoji/rune board drawing option for the adventurous, I don’t see why not.

@lvankeulen may be able to give better advice

After some trial and error, a little bit of luck in postman:

Note that I didn’t send the client secret.

So your curl command might look something like this:

curl -X POST -d 'grant_type=password&username=<username>&password=<password>&client_id=<client_id>' https://online-go.com/oauth2/token/

I finally got it!! @benjito thanks so much for your help! The trick is to use body and not params and without the client secret like you showed.
