TOKEN_MISSING

[rahuls2704]

I try to retrieve some information from Yelp API for a UWP app. As they say here, I need to pass some parameter as header for a HTTP request, and then perform a Json request using this link. I know how to parse a Json file once I get it, but I have no idea how to get access to this file.

If for example I put

https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search?term=delis&latitude=37.786882&longitude=-122.399972&access_token=my%20access_tokenid

this link on my browser

and I am getting error that token_missing.

{"error": {"description": "An access token must be supplied in order to use this endpoint.", "code": "TOKEN_MISSING"}}

How should I enter this TOKEN_MISSING?

Also i got some answer Yelp/yelp-fusion#45 (comment).

but not get any help.

@rahuls2704 : Check out https://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/v3/get_started .

First, follow "Get an access token" to use POST api.yelp.com/oath2/token with your App ID and App Secret to get an access token.

Next, include that access token in the "Authorization" header:

Header Name ("Key" in Postman)	Header Value ("Value" in Postman)
Authorization	Bearer MY_TOKEN

How you specify a header depends on what program you're using to make the GET request.
If you're using Postman, use the Headers tab; for curl use -H, etc.

Does that help? If so, we'll put more of this explanation up on the main docs.

(Side note: https://github.com/Yelp/yelp-fusion is the Github repo for the newer Fusion API your'e using; this https://github.com/Yelp/yelp-api/ is for the older V2 API.)

@rahuls2704 : Are you using Postman, curl, or something else to make your request? I can try to use the words your tool uses.

Do you know how to make a POST request? It's not easy to do manually in a web browser, so most people use either Postman or curl. If you're just starting out I'd suggest Postman:

• https://www.getpostman.com/

We've set up a list of our URLs in Postman's config format, so you don't have to type them in:

• https://www.yelp.com/developers/documentation/v3/get_started => "Run in Postman"

1. Click "Postman for Chrome."
2. In the left bar, click "Collections".
3. Click "POST https://api.yelp.com/oauth2/token"
4. Click "Body".
5. On the line "client_id", replace "value" with your "App ID" from https://www.yelp.com/developers/v3/manage_app (22 characters long).
6. On the line "client_secret", replace "value" with your "App Secret" from https://www.yelp.com/developers/v3/manage_app . (64 characters long, you'll need to click "Show" to see it behind the "*****").
7. On the line "grant type", leave "client_credentials" as-is.
8. Click the big blue "Send" button.
9. In the "Response" field, you should see something like:

{
  "access_token": "MY_TOKEN",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 15552000
}

The access token will be 128 characters long.

Let me know when you've gotten that far, and we'll do the next step --- but don't reveal your actual access token on the internet!

@rahuls2704 : Great, that's the first step.

Now, for the /v3/business/search request: Do not put your "access_token" in the URL. It needs to go in a Header instead.

1. If you're using Postman, click the "Headers" tab (https://www.getpostman.com/docs/requests#headers), and add:

Header Name ("Key" in Postman)	Header Value ("Value" in Postman)
Authorization	Bearer MY_TOKEN

2. If you're using curl:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer MY_TOKEN" "https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search?term=delis&latitude=37.786882&longitude=-122.399972"

(You can read more about HTTP headers in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields , but we only need one of them today.)

Could you make the Java example for this, sir? I understand the Java v2 sample, but when I try to do with v3, I got stuck at this step {"error": {"description": "An access token must be supplied in order
to use this endpoint.", "code": "TOKEN_MISSING"}}.
I tried to change the key and token from Java v2 file into like this:

And change the TwoStepOAuth file into like this:

Sorry for the question cuz I'm not good with the documentation
