Authorization Request

[alannaidon]

Hello!
I'm not sure if this is the place to get this kind of help, but I don't know where else to ask.

I already registered my APP and got my Client ID and Client Secret.
I followed the guide and downloaded Postman collection & environments, but I can't manage to make the /authorize request.

I ended up with the following endpoint

https://sandbox.opengateway.telefonica.com/apigateway/authorize
?client_id={{application-client-id}}
&response_type=code
&purpose={{api-product-purpose}}
&redirect_uri={{application-backend-callback-url}}
&state={{enduser-identifier}}
&login_hint=tel:+5555999999999 // also tried as `phoneNumber:+5555999999999`

According to Telefónica Sandbox page, login_hint is optional, but I'm getting the error saying it is missing even after adding it to query params.

StatusCode: 400
{
  "message": "Missing login_hint"
}

Also tried to access the URL from my mobile phone connected to the carrier's network and send it on body request, but got the same error.
I need some help to understand what am I missing.

Is it ok to use NGROK as a callback URL for tests? When registering my App I checked the MOCK Mode option.

obs:
I tried to make the request from Sandbox page, but it gives a different error. It does not redirect to the Callback URL I wrote.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Alan!

Thank you so much for your feedback. This is the right place indeed... or at least a good one. Sorry this is me who wasn't watching.

The point is that, since our Sandbox is for free and more importantly for non-commercial use, we need to somehow limit the access to actual operator' customers data and we do it by checking a mobile line whitelist in which you should add your own lines if you want to access the production mode.

Even if you are using the mock mode, the /authorization endpoint needs the login_hint to be informed about the end-user identity and check the whitelist. This parameter is optional according to OIDC but that's the one we use for checking the whitelist.

Just put a value there if you are using the mock mode (Vivo will be onboarded to the Sandbox by the end of the year) and you are good to test ;)

We've just added this context to our API reference description and created a new guide explaining it:
https://developers.opengateway.telefonica.com/reference/authorize

So again, thank you for reporting as it helps us improve the content

Best
Diego
