Channel Advisor API Connection with auth key creation
Great! Cheers!
The response is in Json format, so you just need to add a step at the end of the custom function to extract access_token value. Don't forget to add a comma at the end of previous response step.
..................... response = Json.Document(Web.Contents(.......................)), access_token = response[access_token] in access_tokenJing
That produces the "error | invalid client" response.
I really only want order information at this point. When I tried it with https://api.channeladvisor.com/v1/orders as the URL, I got a different error:
Expression.Error: The 'Authorization' header is only supported when connecting anonymously. These headers can be used with all authentication types: Accept, Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Language, Cache-Control, Content-Type, If-Modified-Since, Prefer, Range, Referer

What is in the documentation from the API? Did you try to connect with for example Postman (https://www.postman.com/)? Did you get a succesvol connection?
If your not familiar with Postman:Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.I'll try that. Thanks!
SomeDataDude I set up Postman and was able to connect as follows:
GET https://api.channeladvisor.com/v1/ordersAuthorization: Bearer token (using the initial access token from Channel Advisor)
Body: none
When I try to enter a refresh token, the whole thing errors out.
How do I now take what is working in Postman and alter the initial code for the function and query? What I have tried is to enter that information into my initial code, but it doesn't work. It comes back and says something about connecting anonymously.
