Getting unauthorized error while trying to access apis

Question

I am trying to access the response generated here with postman or an ajax call:

https://logmein.stage.lithium.com/api/2.0/search?q=SELECT+%2A+FROM+messages

This works fine when entered in the search bar of the browswer.

I am able to get the response I want, but when I make an ajax call with that url, or use postman to access it, I get an Unauthorized (401) error.

Below is the url which I generated by following the documentation here, with my client_ID and redirect_url.

https://[myCompany].stage.lithium.com/auth/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[My Client ID]&response_type=code&redirect_uri=[my redirect page]/getaccessToken

Also, using postman, I get the unauthorized 401 error.

I assume you got your URL from the example here: https://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Developer-Documentation/bd-p/dev-doc-portal?section=oauth2

it might be, that the /getAccessToken part of the redirect URL is just exemplary and therefore you'll get the error when calling your /authorize URL in the browser...what happens if you just redirect to your community home page and see if you get any URL params passed?

Correct me if I am wrong, are you saying that the /getAccessToken is a custom page/endpoint? Because I am facing the same issue.&nbsp;Thanks
