LinkedIn OAuth 2 Tutorial Example - Not working

[Michelcyc]

I tried the example and I've got a InsecureTransportError when using the method "fetch_token".
I corrected this error by:

import os
os.environ['DEBUG'] = '1'

Then, I've tried it again and I got a InvalidRequestError this time. My code is exactly like the example.
My call is linkedin.fetch_token(token_url, client_secret=client_secret,authorization_response=redirect_response)

Stack errors:

This example is 11 months old, maybe something changed and I don't know =/

Hi,

Did you have any luck with this? I just ran the example at http:https://requests-oauthlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples/linkedin.html and it worked nicely.

Did you register and submit the same redirect url? Make sure to check trailing /. Try catch the error and print err.json

fyi, 'DEBUG' is transitioning to the more explicit 'OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT'.

@ib-lundgren i ran the example from the link and when redirected to linkedin I get:

"Error code: ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED"

[denibertovic]

Wow this is an unbelievably confusing error message to get for a wrongly copy pasted client_id. The example is working for me now.

[ib-lundgren]

@denibertovic indeed. Glad you found the error :)

@Michelcyc closing this issue as I am unable to reproduce. Feel free to reopen with reproduction steps!
