Message:

I am new to Amadeus and am currently stuck at the first step. I am using the test URL (test.api.amadeus.com) When I use the example code with my API key and API secret, I get the following:

ClientError

Below is the backend code I used with the key and secret:

const express = require('express');

const Amadeus = require('amadeus');



const app = express();

const amadeus = new Amadeus({

    clientId: '{API key}',

    clientSecret: '{API secret}'

});



amadeus.shopping.flightOffersSearch.get({

    originLocationCode: 'SYD',

    destinationLocationCode: 'BKK',

    departureDate: '2022-06-01',

    adults: '2'

}).then(function(response){

  console.log(response.data);

}).catch(function(responseError){

  console.log(responseError.code);

});





app.use(express.static('client'));



app.listen(8080);

No issues on the express side.

I can get my access token using the curl command on the "get started" guide, however when I run the below curl command I get this error:

command:

curl -X GET 'https://test.api.amadeus.com/v1/shopping/flight-destinations?origin=PAR&maxPrice=200' -H 'Authorization: Bearer {{token}}'

response

{

    "errors": [

        {

            "code": 38190,

            "title": "Invalid access token",

            "detail": "The access token provided in the Authorization header is invalid",

            "status": 401

         }

     ]

}

Any help will be appreciated. I can't seem to see where I have gone wrong

My Answer:
It looks like the issue might be with how you are passing the access token in the Authorization header in your curl command. Instead of using double curly braces {{token}}, you should use single curly braces {token} to pass the actual access token value.

Try updating your curl command to the following:

bash
curl -X GET 'https://test.api.amadeus.com/v1/shopping/flight-destinations?origin=PAR&maxPrice=200' -H 'Authorization: Bearer {token}'


Make sure to replace {token} with the actual access token value that you obtained using the curl command in the "get started" guide.

If you continue to experience issues, double-check that you are using the correct API key and secret in your backend code and that you are obtaining and passing the access token correctly in your curl command.
