unauthorized 401 error

[Bezecom Voip]

Hi,

I keep getting unauthorized_client 401 error while asking for refresh token.

I'm pretty sure all details are correct. how come i keep getting this error?

My web.config:

 <add key="DeveloperToken" value="fLGqU*******wsw"/>

        <add key="ClientCustomerId" value="847-***-71**"/>

        <add key="AuthorizationMethod" value="OAuth2" />

        <add key="OAuth2ClientId" value="724*******3-*************.apps.googleusercontent.com" />

        <add key="OAuth2ClientSecret" value="otP8***************QE" />

        <add key="OAuth2Mode" value="APPLICATION" />

any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

That error usually means that the client ID or client secret in your config file are incorrect. Another possibility is that you set up your application in the Developer Console using the wrong application type, e.g., you set up a web application when an native/installed application is expected.

If you haven't done so already, please check out the OAuth2 wiki for our .NET client library. Also, are you getting this error while trying to run our OAuth example or are you using your own code?

Hi Josh,

All of my details seem to be correct, i've repeated the process many times and i still receive the same error.

I'm using "Installed application" type when i create the Client ID and not a web application.

I am indeed using the OAuth asp.net library examples code and not my own code.

BTW, the "clientCustomerId" as mentioned in the example app.config file needs to be the ID of my MCC account, correct? 

" <add key="ClientCustomerId" value="INSERT_YOUR_CLIENT_CUSTOMER_ID_HERE"/> "

Any idea why this still is not working?

Thanks

Hi,

The clientCustomerId is usually set to one of your child AdWords accounts unless you are using the ManagedCustomerService.

Could you send the following only to me by clicking Reply to Author?

1. MCC customer ID
2. AdWords customer IDs
3. Your app.config
4. The user (email address) you were logged in as when generating the OAuth2 refresh token

Thanks,
