FreeAgent API using OAuth Javascript & HTML5 - unable to get it working

Authentication
1

Dear all,

i am trying to establish a connection to freeagent using a HTML5 &
Javascript approach. Unfortunately I am unable to go beyond the logon
screen as I get thereafter follwing message

Sorry, there’s been a problem.

We recognise this app but we can’t understand it’s OAuth request. Please
get in touch with the author of the application you’re trying to approve.

below you find the code i have used

Expense Report for () JSO.enablejQuery(jQuery); 
      var jso = new JSO({
          response_type: "code",
          client_id: "n67vgxxxxxxxxxxwwhJw",
          redirect_uri:

“http:///reports/expense_report.erb.html”,
authorization: “Log in to your FreeAgent account”
scopes: { request: [“https://api.freeagent.com/v2/company”]}
});

      jso.ajax({
          url: "https://api.freeagent.com/v2/company",
          /*oauth: {
              scopes: {
                  request: ["https://api.freeagent.com/v2/company"],
                  require: ["https://api.freeagent.com/v2/company"]
              }
          }, */
          dataType: 'json',
          success: function(data) {
              console.log("Response (google):");
              console.log(data);
              $(".loader-hideOnLoad").hide();
          }
      });


  </script>
<style>

I tried using following javascript library
“GitHub - andreassolberg/jso: Easy to use OAuth 2.0 javascript library for use in your javascript application.”. Does anyone have a working example?

I know there is some Playground / Sandbox environment, but I have troubles
to get it running without playground.

Regards,

Andreas

i gave up using a HTML5 only approach and switched to an PHP based
solution.

There are a few PHP examples out there, but also not really satisfying. I
started to re-work those and enhanced it, so that I am currently sitting
actually in front of a fully operational framework. If it does proof to be
reliable, then i am considering to share it with everyone.

Hi Murkul,

The FreeAgent API uses OAuth 2 for authentication, as explained in the API
docs https://dev.freeagent.com/docs/oauth. I’m afraid we don’t support
Odata.

Hi Andreas,

FreeAgent returns that message when it’s not happy with the OAuth params
being sent through.
At a minimum, we expect the “response_type” and “client_id” parameters to
be supplied, though it certainly looks like you’re setting them in the code
you’ve provided.

I’ve had a look in the logs and it seems that you’ve been successfully
authorising your app this morning, so I guess you found the problem? Out of
curiosity, what was the issue?

Glad you’ve got it sorted!

Kind regards,
