Hi there,

I'm trying to create a connection between Airbyte and Talkdesk.
Airbyte basically asks for:

• Talkdesk account [account_name]
• Talkdesk API key (Client Credentials auth method)

My issue comes when trying to get the Talkdesk API, using client credentials auth method.

The Administrator provided me a OAuth Client credentials .json, with the following fields: id, secret, public_key, private_key and key_id.

What I did first is I’ve encoded the id and secret fields of the json by running in the terminal the following command:

echo -n 'id:secret' | base64

This gave me as an output an encoded string: let's call it "xyz". I’ve used this string then to make a post request as it follows:

curl -X POST <https://account_name.talkdeskid.com/oauth/token>  
     -H 'Authorization: Basic xyz'  
     -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'  
     -d 'grant_type=client_credentials'

Where xyz is the encoded string and account_name the talkdesk account

Unfortunately, I could just get a 401 error, like the following.

{"code":"401 UNAUTHORIZED","message":"Unauthorized"}%

Can you help me understanding what went wrong?

Also, is this the correct path to get the API Key as mentioned by Airbyte? Thanks a lot!
