Sophos Intellix Authenticate API Error trying to Authenticate

Question

I am trying to authenticate to the sophos intellix authenticate api:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.labs.sophos.com​/oauth2​/token' 
--header 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' 
--header 'Authorization: Basic {encoded key:secret}' 
--data-raw 'grant_type=client_credentials

I am receiving this response:

400 ERROR The request could not be satisfied.

Bad request. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.

What am I missing in the cURL request?

Answer 1

Oh gosh... had the wrong content type header value

--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

curl --location -X POST 'https://api.labs.sophos.com​/oauth2​/token' --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --header 'Authorization: Basic {encoded key:secret}' --data-raw 'grant_type=client_credentials' -i
