Unknown Client ID from test environment

Hello, I'm currently developing a web app using the rest api.

I'm testing the full oauth flow exchanging an authorization code

https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/oauth/token?client_id=some_client_id&client_secret=some_client_secret&code=some_code

client_id , client_secret, and code come as parameters of callback url after Clover authentication and correctly match my app id and secret. Everything apparently looks correct but it is returning

{
    "message": "Unknown Client ID"
}

I'm not sure what else could influence my application lookup.

Looking into the forum index I found other similar issues with no response. I hope to get more luck this time.

Thank you

OAuth

The client id should be your app id, this post may help - https://community.clover.com/questions/22380/unknown-client-id-2.html. In this case the developer was trying to use a production client id in sandbox. If you are still having issues provide me the client id you are passing in a private/moderators only post.

Thank you for the answer,

I can confirm the client id is the app id.

Interesting, the url generated the Example OAuth Request link uses the production host

                    
                     https://www.clover.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=my_id

Is this correct or am I supposed to see a sandbox link in here?

Is there some configuration step am I missing?

Thank you in advance

What are you doing, selecting the "Example OAuth Request" link? I just tested that link from sandbox, and it does not generate a www.clover.com url. It sounds like you are logged into a production developer account. Production and sandbox are distinct/separate environments. An app that was set-up in sandbox will not exist in production and vice-versa. You need to login to your sandbox developer account. If you need more help see this article - https://community.clover.com/articles/29543/obtaining-an-access-token-via-the-oauth-flow-in-sa.html.
