Hi John, thanks. I did figure it out a little while after the post I made. I guess I should not be developing after midnight, I know I read that stuff at least 10 times but it did not process that it was a PUT not a POST for some reason. Once I realized it, I tried in Postman and it worked, so I changed my Java code and it worked. I think it was the error that wasn't really helping me realize the issue - though I do realize why the error I got is the one the API sends, it was just not dawning on me. Sorry to have bothered with such a simple one.

I should have mentioned. I am attempting this via the API. I use JAVA in development, but issue still exists using Postman.

I have tried to resolve using Postman and get same issue. For the POST I am using a URL of (I x'd out some of the real id): https://api.cc.email/v3/contacts/8dxxxb22-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-fa163xxxxefc With that URL I am posting a Body in raw JSON. And in the header a Bearer Token. I know am passing an up to date token. because I did a GET and was able to retrieve the contact using the same URL (above) and it gave me the information I expected. I have tried using both Basic Auth and Bearer token. I would assume it is a Bearer Token. I cannot figure out what I am missing here. I have tested the JSON I am trying to pass in the developer form, it works as expected - besides this error is saying it cannot find the resource. The only thing that seems to be at issue is that I am doing a POST rather than a GET, but that is what the documentation says, and also I have to push a BODY with this so can't really use a GET. Any ideas??? I am stumped, this should work. Postman shows the following as the result - essentially a 404 [ { "error_key": "not_found", "error_message": "The requested resource was not found." } ]

After doing more research I found this discussion (https://community.constantcontact.com/t5/Developer-Support-ask-questions/Refresh-token-not-working/m-p/374644) It answered my problem. It was a matter of a refresh_token being generated but, not updating in my central database, and then the 2nd attempt failed.

Hi Courtney, I will mark your response as the solution, but to be specific, it was the redirect_uri. I missed that each leg of the Authorization had to be the same, and I was trying to point to a different one on the second leg. Once changed to the same redirect, it worked. So, thanks.

Every time I try to use a "refresh_token" request I get a 400 error. I am using the latest refresh_token and the URL in the API documentation. I pass the credentials (API Key and API Secret) and do a POST. I am using Java, but no matter what I do I get a 400 error. There seems to be an issue with the interface, or the code in the sample is wrong and I am missing something. Any help is appreciated.

I have a process that gets an Authentication token with no issue, Then the process runs trying to get an access token. When this runs I always get a 400 Error. The process uses the Auth Token received just seconds ago.... always get a 400 Error. Request to get Authorization token goes to (with id and domain obscured of course): https://idfed.constantcontact.com/as/authorization.oauth2?pfidpadapterid=ctctOAuth2IdpAdapter&client_id=x#xxxx#x-x#x#-####-#x##-#xx#xxx#####&response_type=code&scope=contact_data&redirect_uri=https://mydomain.com/862578EF0082BEF8/oauthinitcc.xsp This returns an Authorization code that is generally 40 characters long. I then pass it to a url like the following (tweaked again of course): https://idfed.constantcontact.com/as/token.oauth2?code=ihvDmqXaltqX25EtNjXWU28npLAS62g1BVpULgDJ&grant_type=authorization&redirect_uri=https://mydomain.com/862578EF0082BEF8/oauthlistcc.xsp The immediately above url is generated in Java code, and a "POST" using HttpsURLConnection (just like the API Doc examples show) is used. However, the first line to investigate the result of the HttpsURLConnection throws a 400 Error. The basic code is below (obscured). StringBuilder authResult = new StringBuilder(); // Make authorization header with API Key:API Secret and encode System.out.println("thisAPIKey = " + thisAPIKey); System.out.println("thisAPISecret = " + thisAPISecret); String credentials = thisAPIKey + ":" + thisAPISecret; //Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded String auth = "Basic " + Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(credentials.getBytes()); //String auth = DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(credentials.getBytes()); System.out.println("auth is set without error"); System.out.println("auth = " + auth.toString()); // Create request URL StringBuilder requestUrl = new StringBuilder() .append("https://idfed.constantcontact.com/as/token.oauth2") .append("?code=") .append(codeParam) // this is the AuthorizationCode that is retrieved initially and passed to this process .append("&grant_type=authorization_code") .append("&redirect_uri=") .append(redirectUri); URL authorizeUrl = new URL(requestUrl.toString()); System.out.println("URL is set"); HttpsURLConnection con = null; con = (HttpsURLConnection) authorizeUrl.openConnection(); SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("TLSv1.2"); sc.init(null, null, new java.security.SecureRandom()); con.setSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory()); System.out.println("connection is made"); // Set Method con.setRequestMethod("POST"); con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); // Add Auth Header con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", auth); con.setDoInput(true); InputStream content = null; BufferedReader inVal = null; con.setConnectTimeout(40000); // Read response from server inVal = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream())); Everything is running fine up to the last line above, which is the first attempt to use the return information from the HttpsURLConnection. The error I get from Java is an IOException error: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://idfed.constantcontact.com/as/token.oauth2?code=ihvDmqXaltqX25EtNjXWU28npLAS62g1BVpULgDJ&grant_type=authorization&redirect_uri=https://mydomain.com/862578EF0082BEF8/oauthlistcc.xsp Any help would be appreciated. I have spent a fair amount of time trying to solve on my own with no success. Thanks Mike KInder
