Request failed due to failure of previous request: Connecting 2 reddit with HTTP “Make an OAuth 2.0 request”?

Follow up to a previous thread about trying to connect to reddit using the HTTP Make an OAuth 2.0 Request

How to create a connection to Reddit Using the "Make an OAuth 2.0 request"?

Steps taken: I have created an app in reddit using the documentation I found here: https://www.help.make.com/en/help/app/reddit#generating-your-own-client-id-and-client-secret-values-964489 I would like to make an authorized Get request but I get a bad request while trying to connect to Reddit, it says an invalid client ID, but that is not possible I copy / pasted the ID directly and verified its the same as from the screenshot: [Scherm­afbeelding 2024-03-13 om 12.31.35] [Scherm­afbeeldin…

Im running in to a new issue where Im returned an error message saying:

The request failed due to failure of a previous request

code: SC424

Furthermore I tried creating a different App from 2 different user accounts, I wonder if im blocked somehow.

I also tried using a refresh token parameter with
key: grant_type
value: refresh_token

But at this point i have no idea.

Github Source that reddit links to about OAuth2, their own API documentation does not mention OAuth2:

OAuth2

These are my settings currently:

I have finally found the solution to this (previous thread: How to create a connection to Reddit Using the "Make an OAuth 2.0 request"?) @Michaela I wanted to edit that thread with a link to this one so users see that I have a complete solution to connect to reddit via HTTP Oauth 2.0, but anyway to the solution:

Ensure to use the same redirect URI in your Reddit custom app setup.

In the ‘Custom headers’, an Authorization header needs to be created in this format:

Now, to get the base64 encoded string, you can use a ‘Set Variable’ module with the base64() function (the encoded string will always be a constant so no need to worry) :

This worked for me and I have finally setup an authorized connection to Reddit through make.
