Not getting JSON response body from POST request to https://zoom.us/oauth/token

API and Webhooks
1

Description
During the OAuth 2 flow (Step 2), I am unexpectedly not getting a json response wheh making a POST request to https://zoom.us/oauth/token. I am writing Python and this is my code:

import requests

import json

URL = ‘https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&code=AUTHORIZATIONCODE&redirect_uri=REDIRECTURI’
clientParams= “Basic CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET”
r = requests.post(URL, headers = {‘authorization’:clientParams})
r.json()

Error
Once the r.json() line executes, the program fails because the response body from the post request isn’t in JSON

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
OAuth

Hey @jasonb,

What is the response body from Zoom?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey @jasonb,

Make sure you are base64 encoding the Client_id:Client_secret.
