Invalid auth/bad request (got a 401, expected HTTP/1.1 20X or a redirect) on getRequestToken

[Marc Roger]

Hello,

I'm testing the Etsy API with PHP but when i try to do this step (https://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/getting_started/oauth#section_obtaining_token_credentials), the following method always return a 401 error:

$oauth->getRequestToken("https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/oauth/request_token?scope=email_r%20listings_r%20listings_w", "http://localhost/shopmergion/shopmergion.php");

The error message is: Invalid auth/bad request (got a 401, expected HTTP/1.1 20X or a redirect)

I had to disable the ssl check ($oauth->disableSSLChecks()) and sending the correct credentials. I've read somewhere that this erros can be generated because of the difference between timezomes (I am testing this from my localhost in Spain).

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

Oops, sorry guys, I was wrong. The problem is not located in the getRequestToken I've wrote. The 401 error comes when I try to obtain the token credentials bt sending the verifier code received from the URL:

// set the verifier and request Etsy's token credentials url

$acc_token = $oauth2->getAccessToken("https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/oauth/access_token", null, $verifier);

Thanks.

I'm stuck with this too. Did you ever find a solution?

Also having this issue, tried updating server time and disableSSLChecks. Doesn't seem to be much else out there as far as solutions from what I've found.

Hello all, 
I think you are trying to place a getRequestToken via private app on Etsy that Etsy account which is not created on same developer acoount. 
In simple words 
    -> If you have private Etsy app , then you can only request api's on shops created with same Developer account.

If you are getting this issue via public Etsy app, plz let me know in details the request data and headers. I may help you in this regards.

Thanks
