    Thanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you got this working already.

     

    For reference, it sounds like you're using an app key for an app that hasn't been migrated to scopes yet. This can occur if so if you request scopes. (Apologies for the unhelpful error message!) In order to use the updated app authorization flow to request scopes, you'd need to use an app key for an app that is set to use scopes.

     

    You can migrate an existing app to scopes via the app's page on the App Console.
