Invalid access token. Check the value of the Authorization HTTP request heade

ineffablep commented 5 years ago

Hi, I have generated User Token from eBay Sandbox and set it to eBay.setToken(EBAY_TOKEN);

But getting Invalid access token. Check the value of the Authorization HTTP request header. Do I need to mention anything else

@ineffablep For a sandbox, it's necessary to set an environment variable. Please check here https://github.com/bhushankumarl/eBay-node-client#to-enable-sandbox-purpose.

Did you go through the configuration steps to generate your Oauth Token or Client ID Token?

Because utils.USER_TOKEN just pulls your valid OAuth Token from the USER_TOKEN environment variable. If you haven't created an OAuth token that is valid for that scope (part of eBay your trying to access), you will get the Invalid ID error.

Also, if you scroll up that error a bit, there should be a string in there somewhere that tells you why the token was invalid. Usually it will say something like "not valid for this scope" or "was issued to another client" etc.

I have generated token from here, "https://developer.ebay.com/my/keys". but then what to do with the token. I really don't know.

I am not seeing anything like this, "not valid for this scope" or "was issued to another client".

I had a real tough time getting all of this to work at first too so don't sweat it too much :D.

First thing I would do, is a console.log to see if the USER_TOKEN env variable even has a value. Comment out everything after utils.USER_TOKEN line. Then, on the line directly after that one (from your screenshot it would be line 12), do a console.log(utils.USER_TOKEN) call (uncommented) and see what the output is. If you get an empty string or null (blank output), then you know that your token is invalid because you are asking ebay to use a token that == '' or nothing at all.

I did that. and the token is "undefined". Sir, can please tell me how to fix that?

okay, so that means that your USER_TOKEN environment variable is not set. To remedy this, simply type utils.USER_TOKEN=<unquoted_OAuth_token>, replacing the bracketed text with your ebay OAuth token, the line before var userToken = utils.USER_TOKEN.

Just be sure that if you are using source control (like git, mercurial, etc) or are going to post the finished project somewhere, that you find a different way to store your environment variables. If this is just for personal use, leaving your token in your project file should be fine as long as you are not hosting your project on GitHub, BitBucket, or any other code sharing site.

capture Like this? It is saying "Access Denied".
