I am using developer account with free plan.
I am testing AdobeSign API to integrate with my company's product.
I cannot get access token with oAuth 2.0 in Postman.
I followed this article, and authorization is passed but response does not include access_token.

Shard is jp1.
https://helpx.adobe.com/sign/kb/how-to-create-access-token-using-postman-adobe-sign.html#:~:text=Log%20in%20to%20Acrobat%20Sign,required%20information%20and%20select%20Save.

 

Do I need an enterprise account to get access token?

At lease integration key as access token is working to call API with free plan.

    some documentation seems to point to /public/oauth/v2/token, some seems to point to /oauth/v2/token  .  The stuff at https://opensource.adobe.com  seems to be more accurate.

    please fix your documentation.

      Hi There,

       

      You do not need an enterprise plan to be able to use oAuth.

       

      The process is, however a bit exacting.

       

      The response you are showing in the screenshot is HTML code which tells me that your request URL is probably not correct.

       

      What is the URL you called when receiving this response, please?

      Hi.

      Auth URL: https://secure.jp1.adobesign.com/public/oauth/v2

       

      Access token URL: https://secure.jp1.adobesign.com/public/oauth/v2/token

       

      Best regards,

      Keiji

        if you open the postman console, after you grant the access, you will see a number if requests.   in my case, i see three requests.   the first two are the expected oauth and token endpoints and the third is the user message endpoint which is an html page showing an  error.   the first two requests have 302 redirect responses.   The first 302 response contains in the location header, your callback uri with a code= parameter.   that is the secret code that you can use to retreive access and refresh tokens.  

         

        i believe that the second api call after user grants access is generating an error response for some reason, resulting in the second 302 redirect to the user message page, which i think hides the first 302 redirect to the redirect uri with the code parameter that we want to see.   its there, you just have to hunt for it.  i have used it to get access tokens. 

         

        i'm unclear though as to why the second call is redirecting to the user message error page.  is that a real error?  if so, it hasnt stopped me frim generating and using tokens to make api calls. 

         


        Just to follow up,  it seems that endpoint urls that work for me are

        AuthURL: https://secure.na3.adobesign.com/public/oauth/v2

        AccessTokenURL: https://secure.na3.adobesign.com/oauth/v2/token

        Note that the AccessTokenURL has NO PUBLIC as part of its url while the AuthURL DOES.   Setting these urls allows postman to work correctly when getting an access token.  The second call will receive a 200 response instead of 302 redirect to a user error page and will allow postman to automatically store teh resulting access token.
