Trading via Oauth account fails

[WhatIsTofu]

An account that was authorized with the following scopes, scope=account:write%20trading fails to place a trade with the following error: Failed to authorize current action. The returned scope is scope: 'account:write trading data'. Are there any additional steps that is required to be authorized?

Thank you :pray:

Are you trying to trade on a live or a paper account? To be able to trade with live accounts, your OAuth app requires additional approval which you can find more about on your app page here.

@Neal what are whose steps? This morning it failed to me to buy stocks with this error:

Error on retrieving json from POST URL 'https://api.alpaca.markets/v2/orders' posting {"symbol":"SQQQ","side":"buy","time_in_force":"day","extended_hours":true,"qty":"333",
"type":"limit","limit_price":"25.81"}

(error={"code":40110000,"message":"token is not authorized for this scope"})

I've always used account:write%20trading for scope.

This is the popup about my app on the website:

[Neal]

@lvca is your app approved for live trading? You can check that if you go to your app on https://app.alpaca.markets/brokerage/apps/manage and it should say something at the bottom about how to enable live trading.

Do you mean this?

[Neal]

Under My Developed Apps. My Connected Apps are the apps you've authorized.

[lvca]

Is it this?

But I've used the token for weeks. Why changing policy now?

[Neal]

Yes. Have you used it for live trading? If your app isn't approved for live trading, it couldn't have worked for live trading. This is not a new policy.

[lvca]

Yes, I've traded for at least 2 weeks with the new token without problems. Anyway, I've just sent the request via email.

We can look into it more but there has been no code change around this for a while and this policy has existed since we launched OAuth.
