The documentation (http://developers.box.com/oauth/) suggests using POSTMAN or curl.

In this example, like the clientID is 123, secret code is 456 and so on.

I am using Postman. In a prior step, I have obtained an access code via: https://www.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=123 let's say the response is 'xyz'. But here i am not gettitng response code and gettitng box login page to authorizr and when i am login with credential that is nothing happend.

In the next step, I use POSTMAN to issue a POST command (urlencoded) https://www.box.com/api/oauth2/token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=123&client_secret=456&code=xyz

I do all of this within 30 seconds of obtaining the code in step 1.

The error is {"error":"invalid_request","error_description":"Invalid grant_type parameter or parameter missing"}.

What is the resolution for obtaining an access token via POSTMAN for the BOX API?

  Hi , I use PostMan to obtain dev access tokens in the following way:

  1.  I construct a URL with my client Id as a url Param as follows:

  • https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=[CLIENT_ID]&redirect_uri=https://127.0.0.1&state=token

   

  and save that as a request but really it's just so that I can copy and paste the url into a browser, login to box and in the address bar the token will be returned, which I copy and use in the next step in postman.

   

  2. I then create another POST request with the following URL: 

  • https://app.box.com/api/oauth2/token

   

  and the following header:

  • Content-Type Application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  • Accept application/json

   

  and the following body elements:

  • grant_type authorization_code
  • client_id [CLIENT ID]
  • client_secret [CLIENT SECRET]
  • code [THE CODE YOU WOULD HAVE COPIED AT THE END OF STEP 1]

   

  once you send this request you will be returned a dev access token.

   

  Hope that helps.
