What access token are you using?

Just found out why it returns Invalid access token. The problem was, you MUST use the recipient's access token for the POST request. For example:

# Request URL
https://devapi.globelabs.com.ph/smsmessaging/v1/outbound/<short code>/requests?access_token=<recipient's access token>

# Request Body
{
    "outboundSMSMessageRequest": {
        "senderAddress": "1234",  // short code suffix
        "outboundSMSTextMessage": {
            "message": "Your message goes here"
        },
        "address": "9071234567" // the recipient
    }
}

At the end of the day, the recipient NEEDS to register to your app.

There's an instruction below your app in Globe Labs

Hope this helps.

Hi, @kawoki I'm still getting Invalid access token even with access_token for that subscriber. How did you fix yours?

Steps I did:

1. Let user register via the dialog https://developer.globelabs.com.ph/dialog/oauth/<app_id>
2. After user received confirmation code and inputted code, your callback will receive the code as a query parameter via GET
3. Retrieve access_token for that subscriber: curl -X POST -d 'app_id=<app_id>' -d 'app_secret=<app_secret>' -d 'code=<code in step 2>' https://developer.globelabs.com.ph/oauth/access_token. This returned: {"access_token":"<subscriber's access_token>","subscriber_number":"9123456789"}
4. Send SMS to that subscriber: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"outboundSMSMessageRequest":{"outboundSMSTextMessage":{"message":"hello world"},"address":"9123456789", "senderAddress":"1234"}}' https://devapi.globelabs.com.ph/smsmessaging/v1/outbound/<short code>/requests?access_token=<subscriber's access_token>
5. [BUG] got error {"error":"Invalid access token"}

@greenlover1991, Try using your short code in senderAddress instead of 1234

greenlover1991, Try using your short code in senderAddress instead of 1234

@kawoki yup, used my short code instead of 1234, still got the same error

[kawoki]

@greenlover1991, not quite sure what causes your error. Try Postman for testing api request instead of curl. It is easier than doing everything in the terminal.

@greenlover1991 did you manage to fix your issue? I'm also getting the same issue but I entered the correct access token and sender address data which is the last 4 digit of shortcode

[greenlover1991]

@markandrewkato no. I gave up. Better to use a different SMS API gateway.

[mcandidier]

having the same problem, @markandrewkato any luck with this issue?
