HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request For any GET/POST

1

Hello,

I am new to the API and have been playing about using the Google Sandbox
tool as you run through in the Getting started section. I am able to get a
valid response by running the following:

https://api.sandbox.freeagent.com/v2/company/

However, whenever I do any other request, I get the following:

GET /v2/invoices?page=5&per_page=50 HTTP/1.1
Host: api.freeagent.com
Content-length: 0
Authorization: Bearer 1ViwK_7_OF0_LUDfq_N3dnYXcB7ZywFxS1N6fFpE-

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-length: 16
Content-type: text/plain

WWW-Authenticate

What am i missing?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

The sandbox and freeagent.com use different tokens. Are you trying to use
the same token for both endpoints?

Kind regards,

Hi Nathan,

Glad you sorted it out. As to tutorials, I don’t have a list to hand, but
maybe the group could provide suggestions if you open a new thread?

Cheers,

I’m having the same issue, no errors, just ‘Bad request’. Not sure where to
start really. I’m just testing requests in the Google Sandbox (with the
endpoint being my freeagent sandbox).

Are there any actual tutorials anywhere beyond the getting started guide?
It took me 20 minutes just to find out what format the’ dated_on’ attribute
should be in…

Docs are a bit sparse!

Hi Jonathan,

Actually I just worked out what was being referred to when the question of
endpoints came up. I was indeed using the normal api address for the
request, and not including ‘sandbox’ in the URL. Doh.

Are there any tutorials out there for the API though? I worry that because
there are no defaults, formats etc stated for the many attributes I’m going
to be running into a lot of issues…
