Attempting to obtain an access token via the Genesys Cloud OAuth2 endpoint using Python requests. The payload structure appears correct, yet the response consistently returns a 401 Unauthorized status.
import requests
url = "https://api.mypurecloud.com/oauth/token"
auth = ("my_client_id", "my_client_secret")
payload = {"grant_type": "client_credentials"}
resp = requests.post(url, auth=auth, data=payload)
print(resp.status_code)
The documentation states basic auth headers are required for client credentials. Is there a specific encoding requirement for the credentials tuple?
