Get a temporary request token

POSThttps://api.testingapis.com/api/auth/oauth1/request_tokenSign in to see this endpoint's URL

Get a temporary request token (step 1 of the three-legged flow).

Sign with the consumer credentials only; sending an oauth_token is rejected. oauth_callback is required: an http(s) URL, or oob to have the verifier shown instead of redirected. In Postman, leave the token fields empty and fill in Callback URL under Advanced.

Response: application/x-www-form-urlencoded by default, or JSON when the request sends Accept: application/json. The request token expires after 10 minutes. Next: open GET /api/auth/oauth1/authorize?oauth_token=<request token>.Response: application/x-www-form-urlencoded by default, or JSON when the request sends Accept: application/json. The request token expires after 10 minutes. Next: open GET …<request token>.

Parameters 8

Name	Type	Description

`oauth_callback`required	header · string	An absolute http(s) URL to redirect to after authorization, or oob to get the verifier as JSON.
`oauth_signature_method`required	header · string	HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA512 or PLAINTEXT.
`oauth_signature`required	header · string	Signed with the consumer secret only: the signing key is consumer_secret& (empty token secret). For PLAINTEXT, send apibee-consumer-secret%26.
`oauth_timestamp`	header · string	Unix time in seconds, within 5 minutes of server time. Required for the HMAC methods; may be left out for PLAINTEXT.
`oauth_nonce`	header · string	A random string; each one works once. Required for the HMAC methods; may be left out for PLAINTEXT.
`oauth_version`	header · string	Optional. If sent, it must be 1.0.
`Accept`	header · string	application/json for a JSON response. Without it the response is application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

401: consumer_key_unknown, timestamp_refused, nonce_used or signature_invalid.
