Obtaining a token for 3rd party users

Extensibility

Not sure if this should be here, Extensiblity, Support or Bug… :smirk:

I’m setting up a MarketPlace app (BizMileage) and I’m attempting to obtain a token for a 3rd party user following the instructions at http://bit.ly/2pXMQsw

I’m getting a straightforward 404 page not found error rather than a 400 failure to authenticate error. Browsing to the link gets the same result.

I’m using https://quickfile.co.uk/partners/authenticate from the page

but I’ve also tried https://csldev.quickfile.co.uk/partners/authenticate

I’m guessing the link is incorrect or not yet live?

Hi Ian,

Sorry we missed this, “Marketplace” was originally for users looking to find accountants (renaming is probably needed), posts here don’t appear on the front page. Please use ‘Extensibility’ for all API related posts.

Regarding the 404, it appears we had the wrong endpoint in the documentation the actual endpoint should be:

https://api.quickfile.co.uk/partners/authenticate

This has now been updated.

Please let me know if that works for you?

Doh! Should have thought to stick api. in front of the URL

All working. :grinning:

I noticed this morning that MarketPlace was not on the Latest or New categories. I guess this is still a new service in shakedown. I’m happy to help with development where possible.

:bulb: One small point: The ‘internal’ API requires the MD5 hash with no delimiters while this hash requires the ‘:’ delimiter. You might want to mention that in the docs to save further tickets.

Thanks once again for the rapid and accurate support.

The ‘:’ delimiter should be mentioned in the docs for this new endpoint, but will double check.

Give us a shout if there’s anything else we can assist with.
