PayPal -  Rest API OAuth Error
Question

Hi,

I am currently working on a PayPal integration using the REST API methods PayPal provides.

To be able to use the API Methods I first need to generate an OAuth token with a REST API Post.

I can do it without any problem on Postman, however I am unable to do this on OutSystems.

The REST API call I make: 

A Post with the following structure:

  • header: content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;
  • body: grant_type:client_credentials;
  • Basic authentication filled in (user and password).

I get the following error:

HTTP/1.1 400 BadRequestContent-Type: application/json{  "error": "unsupported_grant_type",  "error_description": "Grant Type is NULL"}

Has anyone had this problem before?

Hi Reinaldo,

Did you check what the Platform sends to PayPal? If not, increase the logging level of the REST API, and check the logging. This might give you a starting point for debugging.
