400 Bad Request when getting access token

CLINTC50 · ‎02-11-2023

I get authorization codes without issue but when using the following code I only get the response below.

<html>
<head><title>400 Bad Request</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>400 Bad Request</h1></center>
<hr><center>cloudflare</center>
</body>
</html>

The code I am using to call for the access token is below.

// Use cURL to get access token and refresh token
		$ch = curl_init();

		// Define base URL
		$base = 'https://authz.constantcontact.com/oauth2/default/v1/token';

		// Create full request URL
		$url = $base . '?code=' . $_GET['code'] . '&redirect_uri=' . urlencode(DOMAIN.'connect/constantcontact/') . '&grant_type=authorization_code';
		//echo $url;
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

		// Set authorization header
		// Make string of "API_KEY:SECRET"
		$auth = $this->_clientID . ':' . $this->_clientSecret;
		//echo $auth;
		// Base64 encode it
		$credentials = base64_encode($auth);
		// Create and set the Authorization header to use the encoded credentials, and set the Content-Type header
		$authorization = 'Authorization: Basic ' . $credentials;
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array($authorization, 'Accept: application/json', 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));

		// Set method and to expect response
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

		// Make the call
		$result = curl_exec($ch);
		curl_close($ch);
		
		print_r($result);

Any ideas on what could be causing this? We are following the docs exactly...

I solved this by adding the following to the post body

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode(['client_id' => $this->_clientID, 'client_secret' => $this->_clientSecret, 'code' => $_GET['code']]) );
