Server returns 403 during Authorization Code Flow

[osrs_airport]

I really can’t figure out what I am doing wrong… I followed the ‘guide on Github’ and came up with

  	String urlParameters =
  			  "client_id=" + URLEncoder.encode(clientid, "UTF-8")
  			+ "&client_secret=" + URLEncoder.encode(secret, "UTF-8")
  			+ "&grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=" + URLEncoder.encode("http://localhost:8000/token", "UTF-8")
  			+ "&code=" + URLEncoder.encode(token, "UTF-8")
  			+ "&state=" + URLEncoder.encode(uuid.replace("-", ""), "UTF-8");
                                [...]
                     	InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());

And I am getting a

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/oauth2/token

at line

InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());

I have dubble checked my Secret / Client-ID etc, can’t spot a mistake in my Code.
Still I can not get it working…
Any ideas?

A 403 typically indicates a bad username/password [or in this case, client id + client secret] (a 403 is a forbidden error code).

Client ID and Client Secret don’t typically need a url encoder, but as it doesn’t contain special characters, that should be a no-op.

&client_secret=[your client secret]
&grant_type=authorization_code
&redirect_uri=[your registered redirect URI]
&code=[code received from redirect URI]
&state=[your provided unique token]```

I'd have to check my implementation, but I'm not sure if token should be url encoded.

Otherwise it looks good, with a general disclaimer that I don't typically work in java.

Provided your redirect url in your application is pointing at 'http://localhost:8000/token' that should be ok - but generally redirecting from an https endpoint (twitch auth) to an http endpoint (your local server) is a no-no, but shouldn't be deal breaking.

Have you tried a HttpsUrlConnection object instead of just Http?

[osrs_airport]

I am allready using one! see this line
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

I have dubble checked my client-ID and client-Secret, they were correct… I’ve resettet my Secret and it worked, weird, but oh well! Thank you anyways

Glad you figured it out! My suggestion was to use HttpsUrlConnection instead of HttpUrlConnection. Note the extra S.

Oh yeah, I forgot to put down a s on every single one of them replaced, thanks!
