Rest API test invalid URL

[wileysegovia]

Hi all,

We are trying to connect to our Marketo instance via API and are not able to get past the initial URL address / simple test.

We have typed the following into the address bar:

https://401-bvr-945.mktorest.com/identity/oauth/tokengrant_type=client_credentials&client_id=7xxxxxx...

But are getting back: 

{
    "error": "invalid_url",
    "error_description": "The URL invoked does not exist."
}

 Is there something we are missing?

The structure of the URL is

https://{{Marketo Munchkin ID}}.mktorest.com/identity/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={{Marketo OAuth client_id}}&client_secret={{Marketo OAuth client_secret}}

In other words, you left out the ? that comes before the query string. This is a pretty basic part of URL structure, and you’ll need to be attentive to such basics as you use the API.

Hi Sanford,

This was sent to me by another developer on my team. I noticed the missing delimiter a moment after posting!

It seems we are getting a standard/good response back.
