Hey everyone, I have an issue. I’m trying to set up the PipeDream connect. I’m following the official documentation. But after every time I do this, I have the same bug.

So I follow the two steps.

First, I set up the oauth token. Then using that i get the connect token. And then when I create the connect URL and click on it, it always says it’s expired.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, I’m following the documentation, and I always get this issue.

Are creating the token in development or production?

I did development.

But I remember also having the same issue with production.

Maybe I am doing something wrong. I am new to this, so highly likely its possible.

I am using the pipedream’s OAuth Client.

11

I only have one project in my account and I use that as the project id.

12 
(venv) adi@adi-linux:~/Repos/win/pipedream/connect_link$ curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/oauth/token   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{
    "grant_type": "client_credentials",
"client_id": "QKqHQFRmA8ZUAz_4gToL3ekxxzxv6umBkYNzdeLBLBw",
    "client_secret": "B7prnURW4vfV9SMZ-myq_iWRWbfzgiLAFJMvsSmYe-8"
  }'

I am also dumping this here in case its helpful for debugging. That is the id/secret combo.

(I will delete these client credentials later).

13

So basically I do those two steps and then open the connect url. But everytime I open that it says link expired.

14

does that information help? Would you need any other info please let me know?

Any pointers would help. I am stuck on this for some hours and lost :confused: Would greatly appreciate any help.

15

Here is a link I generated just now with this :

Pipedream Connect

16

Same issue :confused:

17

Can you open Chrome dev tools when you open that link and look for the /validate network request and look for the response?

18

I believe you’re the token is being created in production, which would explain why it isn’t working with Pipedream’s official OAuth client

19

Hold on let me do that.
