Sandbox requirements?

[Ann]

Hi,

I am able to make oauth requests to the production environment, but
not to the sandbox.

My URI and developer key for the latter are correct, as they work when
making public calls, and I have verified the consumer key secret; I am
pulling back an older user so it is not a matter of syncing, and it
works when making a call to the public entry point anyway. I receive
the Request token/secret just fine, generate the login just fine.
However, when trying to request the access tokens with the returned
verifier and my sandbox consumer key, I get a 400 error (Invalid auth/
bad request).

I am using the same code for my requests for both environments, only
changing the variables for the entry points, consumer key and consumer
key secret.

Am I incorrect in assuming those were the only differences when making
requests from production versus sandbox?

Thanks for your time.

To clarify, I started this post when I was unable to get a valid
response from request to the entry point. I then backed up a stepped,
and realized I wasn't even getting an Access token/secret.

I realize if the Access token/secret are not there/valid, my request
would have generated an error ;o) I am curious as to why the verifier
and consumer key fail to generate the Access token.

Thanks.

Hi Ann

I just tried and was able to get an OAuth token for the sandbox and
use it to make a private call.

Are you using the sandbox to request the tokens themselves?

http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/sandbox/oauth/access_token

vs

http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/oauth/request_token
http://openapi.etsy.com/v2/oauth/access_token

We may need to make this a little clearer in the docs.

That would make sense, wouldn't it?

Sorry if I missed it in the documentation. I really did look ;o)
