I am trying to access a salesforce sandbox account using a cURL request. I have created a similar cURL request using a separate salesforce developer account which has worked successfully; however, upon modifying the information from that request I get an error: invalid grant_type response. Below are the two request. The first is the working request and the second is the sandbox account which has the invalid grant_type error.
1 WORKS curl https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token -d grant_type=password -d "client_id=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv_ab" -d "client_secret=1234567891011121314" -d "[email protected]" -d "password=passwordxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -H "X-Prettyprint:1"
2.DOES NOT WORK curl https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token -d grant_type=password -d "client_id=zxcvbnmasdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnmasdfghjklqwertyuiop" -d "client_secret=7845679304-1945678" -d "[email protected] -d "password=passwordxxxxxxxxxxxxx” -H "X-Prettyprint:1"
where xxxxxxxx=security token
The two requests are almost identical but with different client_id client_secret username and password. They also have slightly different urls.
My guess is that there is something that I have to enable/disable from the sandbox account to allow these types of requests. However, I'm not sure and would appreciate help in determining a solution to this problem.
EDIT: When I make the request to the sandbox I get the follow message
{
"error_description" : "grant type not supported",
"error" : "unsupported_grant_type"
}
