invalid_grant

Question

I am able to generate the auth and refresh token for my app. But when I use the refresh token to regenerate the auth token it gives me the below error. Note that this used to work until last week for almost 2 years.

{
"error": "invalid_grant",
"error_description": "AADSTS70000: The user could not be authenticated as the grant is expired. The user must sign in again.\r\nTrace ID: dfe52903-9975-4945-a9bf-f07b390ff101\r\nCorrelation ID: b90a7d1c-25de-4bda-b739-dd5911524a69\r\nTimestamp: 2021-08-12 07:26:15Z",
"error_codes": [

],
"timestamp": "2021-08-12 07:26:15Z",
"trace_id": "dfe52903-9975-4945-a9bf-f07b390ff101",
"correlation_id": "b90a7d1c-25de-4bda-b739-dd5911524a69",

}

Hello @Karan Sawhney ,

Thanks for reaching out.

I think you are trying to get access token for Bing Ads API, please correct me if that's not a case in above sceanrio also could you please confirm account type which is being used? ( work/school OR MSA account? )

I was able to regenerate the auth token by using refresh_token as per this link without any issue so I would recommend you to try this PowerShell way, if that works for you then I guess this issue more on module that you are using to get access token.

I had seen this similar issue when you try getting auth token through Python modules and issue got resolved by updating BingAds Python module update.

Please let me know how that goes. Thanks
