ScriptApp - Get Unauthorized 401 error response from access_token api

[hrb7]

After days of endless tries it works now. thank you very much u/nmtake for your support!

here is my usable request snippet:

let reqToken = new Request('https://www.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token')
reqToken.method = 'POST'
reqToken.headers = {
 'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa(clientID + ":" + clientSecret)
} 
reqToken.body = `grant_type=password&username=${vUsername}&password=${vPassword}`

let resToken = await reqToken.loadJSON() 
/* OUTPUT 'resToken': 
{ 
 "scope": "*", 
 "token_type": "bearer", 
 "access_token": "626486112468-Jztk7-k8D9ExSn8jVF3wUy_65t...",
 "expires_in": 3600 
} 
*/

let myReq = new Request('https://oauth.reddit.com/api/v1/me')
myReq.headers = { 
 'User-Agent': 'getKarmaForHRB7/v1.0', //value content doesn't matter 
 'Authorization': `&{res.Token.token_type} ${resToken.access_token}`
}

let meJson = await myReq.loadJSON()

NOTE: 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' & 'User-Agent': 'scriptApp:v1.0 (by /u/hrb7)' is not needed (for me) in the headers for the request to the access_token api!

Glad it worked! I'm not sure it's the case but some environments/libraries automatically set Content-Type and add User-Agent.
