The issue you're facing while retrieving a token using the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type in Bruno Script could be caused by various reasons, including:
1. Incorrect Header Setup: The Content-Type header might not be set correctly to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
2. Malformed Request Body: The body of your request may not be properly URL-encoded as required by the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type.
3. Authentication Endpoint: The endpoint URL or method may be incorrect, or the server might not support the specific authentication method.
4. Authorization Details: Missing or incorrect client ID, client secret, or other required parameters.
Here's an example of how you can properly structure the request in Bruno Script to retrieve a token:
Bruno Script Example
Things to Verify
1. Request Headers: Ensure the Content-Type header is set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
2. Body Encoding: Make sure the body parameters are URL-encoded (Bruno Script handles this if mode is set to urlencoded).
3. Endpoint URL: Verify the token endpoint URL from your API's documentation.
4. Parameters: Confirm that the required parameters (e.g., grant_type, client_id, client_secret, scope) are correct and complete.
5. HTTP Method: Ensure the correct HTTP method (e.g., POST) is used for the token request.
6. Server Logs: If possible, check the server logs for clues about why the request might be failing.
Common Issues and Fixes
401 Unauthorized: Ensure the client_id and client_secret are correct.
400 Bad Request: Check for typos or missing parameters in the body.
CORS Issues: If testing from the browser, the server must have proper CORS settings.
