401 When Refreshing Token

#1

Hey,

Im successfully pulling back data from the FreeAgent API
(Recurring invoices etc) - However, the app has to automatically update
it’s token (It’s a Reporting service). When ever I post data (Details
below) I get a 401 Unauth. I know the token works as I can get data, it’s
only happening when I post the refresh token.

Any suggestion on how I can dig into this more?

Hi Liam,

I’m glad to hear you managed to figure it out. If you run in to any more
problems our documentation site is at https://dev.freeagent.com/docs/ in
case you haven’t found it yet and if that doesn’t answer your question
please do get in touch.

Regards,

Looks like I need to send, App Secret and ID over as well. Seems to be ok
now, there are a few posts on this forum that dont mention that and I was
using that as a guide. Google’s Playground pointed me in the right
direction!
