Alteryx OAuth2 token API not working (401 Unauthorized)

[alexcassola]

Hi there,

We just had the v3 APIs set up on our instance of Alteryx Server. I now am able access the /webapi/swagger/ page.

However, when I try to authorize using my client ID and secret I get a response of '401 Unauthorized'. I tried with Type "Basic auth" and "Request body" - same result.

My client ID and secret are definitely copied correctly from my user profile on our Alteryx Gallery and I have API Access permission enabled.

The payload of the request generated by the api looks like this in the browser:

Is the value of 'scope' meant to be blank?

The version of Alteryx Server we are using is 2021.4.2.07064

FYI - I get the same error when I call the /webapi/oauth2/token api in Postman.

Any ideas please?

thanks,

Alex

It seems the APIs needed to be set up to use https, which they weren't initially. With https the token API works fine.
