I successfully received the access token. And also I can check the token info, token info display these details "{"scopes":["contact_data","campaign_data"]}"

 

But when I try to do any API action I receive this error "{"error_key":"unauthorized","error_message":"Unauthorized"}"

 

I am using following code to create new list:

 

$url = 'https://api.cc.email/v3/contact_lists';

$ch = curl_init();
$data = array(
"name" => "Multiple Countries",
"favorite" => true,
"description" => "List multiple countries"
);

$jsonDataEncoded = json_encode($data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonDataEncoded);

// Set HTTP Header for POST request
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Cache-Control' => 'no-cache',
'Accept' => 'application/json',
'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
'Authorization' => 'Bearer '.$access_token
));
// Submit the POST request
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$err = curl_error($ch);

// Close cURL session handle
curl_close($ch);
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {

print_r($result);

}

Please let me know what is that issue.

Hello Aman_Mamdani,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Constant Contact API Developer Support. My team is here to assist outside software developers with questions about building into Constant Contact's API.

 

An Unauthorized error can be returned either when the access token or API key that you provided is not valid or has expired, or possibly if the request is not formatted correctly.

 

Could you please provide us with the API key that you are using to make the request, as the full request(s) where you are receiving the response error (including URL, headers, and request body), the full response body, as well as timeframes so that we can so that we can better assist you in identifying the root cause of the issue?

 

In order to communicate this information securely, please send it to us via email at webservices@constantcontact.com .
