API Meistertask

Joseph Nalbone

Hi,

I have a question about the meistertask api. I can't authorize my application and it returns a 403 error.

Here is what I did:

1 - I created the link to my project on the url: https://www.mindmeister.com/api in the tab: OAuth 2.0 Apps

I retrieved the following elements:
CLIENT ID
CLIENT SECRET

2 - Then I authorized my application with the following link: www.mindmeister.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&scope=mindmeister

I authorized the application
My url returned a code as a parameter

3- Then I did the following to generate the Bearer code: https://www.mindmeister.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=URL&scope=mindmeister

My url returned the Bearer code as a URL parameter.

However, when I take the code to test it on the page: https://developers.meistertask.com/reference/get-attachment

It returns a 403 error. Do you know why this doesn't work?

I also followed point 3 on the page: https://developers.mindmeister.com/docs/oauth-2#authorization-code-flow

If the resource owner has granted permission in the previous step, the MindMeister authorization server redirects the user to the given redirect URI. The access token is provided in the fragment of the redirection URI....

Thanks a lot

Hi @Joseph Nalbone ,

seems like you authenticated only MindMeister while trying to get attachments from MeisterTask. Here is the scope that defines the access rights.

I would recommend changing the scope for MeisterTask.

It does work a lot better, thank you!
