InvalidClientError following example #1

Closed cdeblois closed 10 years ago

cdeblois commented 10 years ago

I cloned the repo. I created app:

id=1055
key=provided secret here
redirect_uri=http://localhost:5000/oauth

I updated the config.yaml with above key and secret.

I ran the script and got the below. 

ubuntu@ip-10-63-175-117:~/mendeley-api-python-catalog-example$ python mendeley-catalog.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Please help.

Thanks

That error usually indicates that your client ID/secret are incorrect. Please could you sign in to the developer portal at http://dev.mendeley.com, generate a new secret (remember to click on the Submit button), update your config.yml and try again?

Actually, this is due to stricter validation introduced in a recent version of oauthlib. I'll fix this for now by enforcing an earlier version of oauthlib, and I'll look into making the API compatible with the newer oauthlib separately.

OK, please could you upgrade to the latest SDK? You can do this by running the following:

git pull
pip install -U -r requirements.txt

Seems I get the same error.

The issue was the yaml file and the keys needing to be regenerated.
