Trying to follow [Getting access token for uploads in v4](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/getting-access-token-for-uploads-in-v4/4993) a  
curl [https://graph.mapillary.com/token](https://graph.mapillary.com/token)   
-H “Content-Type: application/json”   
-H “Authorization: OAuth CLIENT\_SECRET” \ from dev console  
-d’  
{  
“grant\_type”: “authorization\_code”,  
“code”: “LONG\_AUTHORIZATION\_CODE”, \from url redriects  
“client\_id”: 1234  
}’

and am getting. Any idea how to debug?  
{“error”:{“message”:“Invalid OAuth access token - Cannot parse access token”,“type”:“OAuthException”,“code”:190,“fbtrace\_id”:“AXwX6YzoYvSrpS\_1Y1lUyZG”}}

LONG\_AUTHORIZATION\_CODE was correctly returned but now the final step fails.  
Feels slightly overcomplicated?

Hi! I think there’s two things:

“client\_id” - it should be the “Client ID” from your app in the dev console ([https://www.mapillary.com/dashboard/developers](https://www.mapillary.com/dashboard/developers))

-H “Authorization: OAuth CLIENT\_SECRET” should be the “Client secret” from the dev console.

yeah, i did not post these here but as the comment says i used dev console ones.  
What else can i try?

curl [https://graph.mapillary.com/token](https://graph.mapillary.com/token)  
-H “Content-Type: application/json”  
-H “Authorization: OAuth CLIENT\_SECRET” \ from dev console  
-d’  
{  
“grant\_type”: “authorization\_code”,  
“code”: “LONG\_AUTHORIZATION\_CODE”, \from url redirects  
“client\_id”: 1234 \ from dev console  
}’

No details on what needs to be sent to /token, and I get an unhelpful error that I can’t lookup anywhere: { "error": { "message": "Invalid OAuth 2.0 Access Token", "type": "MLYApiException", "code": 190, "error\_data": {}, "fbtrace\_id": "A9-7asFpQ0nlkaMYtAn-YNE" } } When I tried the following: const authResponse = await fetch(`https://graph.mapillary.com/toke…

Finally managed with postman. Could have been less painful … no idea why curl did not work
