#stackoverflow #python #mastodonpy Question
I've posted it and will give it a bounty in 2 days.
The problem was the API client can't deal with accounts with 2 factor auth enabled and the error message "invalid_grant" isn't exactly suggestive of what the problem really is.
#mastodonapi #mastodonpy
Why does oauth return invalid 400/invalid_grant for all permutations of credentials?
Is it easier to just do selenium based browser automation?
Should I burn reputation on Stackoverflow trying get oauth to work?
I'm in the valley of despair in using mastodon.py - short of
...doing browser automation to do a login and get a token or
...switching to only doing code projects that use anonymous endpoints
...or writing an API wrapper just for login
#mastodonpy
I'm stuck on auth...why can't login errors be informative
mastodon.Mastodon.MastodonIllegalArgumentError: Invalid user name, password, or redirect_uris: ('Mastodon API returned error', 400, 'Bad Request', 'invalid_grant')
