Why upwork authentication api always response failed?

I am building an application with Upwork api.

Now I do the first thing to get a grant code to exchange access token.

The api documentation says:

======

Endpoint GET /ab/account-security/oauth2/authorize ‍ Parameters:

  1. response_type

required, string ‍ The corresponding grant type. Use code for Authorization Code Grant.

  1. client_id

required, string ‍ Your Client ID.

  1. redirect_uri

required, string

‍Redirect URI, must be equal or similar to the callback specified in the key settings.

======

I use this url to get the code but always response failed

https://api.upwork.com/graphql/ab/account-security/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=[ClientID]&redirect_uri=[Encoded Callback URL]

the response is:

{ "1": { "str": "Authentication failed" } }

I tried using the redirect URL with encoding and without encoding, still get failed.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

you need to build the first url to redirect user (for the user's authentication)

https://upwork.com/ab/account-security/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<client id>&redirect_uri=<url>
