API key is missing or inactiv

Hi,    I have managed to be able to retrieve my access token from the MYOB API, however when I make a simple call to the Sandbox commpany file, I receive the following response:     [29-Jan-2019...

Looks like I might be using the wrong URL for making API calls, I see references to using the company file GUID in various documentation, but no mention of it elsewhere....   Confusing.

    I'd recommend reading hte documentation here:

    http://developer.myob.com/api/accountright/v2/company-files/

    And verifying first using the Files endpoint:

    http://localhost:8080/accountright/
http://[IP OF NETWORK COMPUTER]:8080/accountright/
https://api.myob.com/accountright/

    Once you've got a company file ID, you should be able to construct the appropriate endpoints to call.   I find it easiest to start by bashing a localhosted version of AccountRight before bashing the Web API endpoints.

      Thanks Will and Jacob. 

       

      Turns out the API key was inactive, I am guessing this is because I created so many while developing the access_token storage code... 

       

      So I can authenticate now.... 

       

      I am also using the following for authenticating to the company file:

       

      $username_password = base64_encode("Administrator:");

       

      However when I hit the URL: 

      https://api.myob.com/accountright/

      All, I get back is:

       

      ?

       

      Is that common?  I was expecting to get a list of the company files.

        Sorry, 

         

        Just realised that was the compressed version of the response.. 

         

        All sorted - thanks again for the quick response.
