API : My token does not work anymore in pyinaturalist?

[pisum]

did you use your new token? i think each token gets revoked when you get a new one for the user / application combination.

i just tried using an access token on POST /v1/observations/{id}/fave, and it worked fine, whereas the token did not work with GET /v1/users/me. meanwhile, a JWT worked fine for the latter. based on that, i don’t think there’s a bug here. i think the issue is that you’re using an access token instead of a JWT.

here’s are relevant notes from other threads:

@jcook

pyinaturalist doesn’t currently use JWT by default because it hasn’t been needed yet, but that could certainly be added. You can request that in a new issue here, if you’d like.

@kueda

Some endpoints at api.inaturalist.org pass requests through to www.inaturalist.org, and for those an oauth token will work (though not an invalid one). It’s not something I recommend doing though. Better to get a fresh JWT and use it for all requests to api.inaturalist.org that require auth.
