Dear team,

Then, I was created new project into developer adobe com console and Connected products and services Selected: **frame io API** select added redirect URI also created project service like this screen shot

Then, I was Node js implement code like this

const clientId = “c497d062ba75497ab9f93506277a0bdf”;

const clientSecret = “p8e-wNDB33w-kcYoPgXKyaR6rm63zWN0WXzb”;

const redirectUri = “[https://manju-backend-yeor.onrender.com/api/frameio/callback](https://manju-backend-yeor.onrender.com/api/frameio/callback)”;

// STEP 1: Redirect user to Adobe Login

app.get(“/auth”, (req, res) =\> {

const authUrl = new URL(“[https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/authorize/v2](https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/authorize/v2)”);

authUrl.searchParams.set(“client\_id”, clientId);

authUrl.searchParams.set(“redirect\_uri”, redirectUri);

authUrl.searchParams.set(“response\_type”, “code”);

authUrl.searchParams.set(“scope”, “openid offline\_access email profile”);

authUrl.searchParams.set(“state”, “random123”);

// Redirect user to Adobe login

res.redirect(authUrl.toString());

});

// STEP 2: Adobe redirects here with ?code=AUTH\_CODE

app.get(“/callback”, async (req, res) =\> {

const code = req.query.code;

if (!code) {

```
return res.status(400).send("Missing authorization code");

```

}

console.log(" Authorization Code:", code);

const tokenUrl = “[https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/token/v3](https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/token/v3)”;

// Create Basic Auth header

const authHeader =

```
"Basic " +

Buffer.from(\`${clientId}:${clientSecret}\`).toString("base64");

```

// Prepare request body

const params = new URLSearchParams({

```
code,

grant_type: "authorization_code",

redirect_uri: redirectUri,

```

});

try {

```
const tokenResponse = await fetch(tokenUrl, {

  method: "POST",

  headers: {

    "Authorization": authHeader,

    "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",

  },

  body: params.toString(),

});

const tokenData = await tokenResponse.json();

console.log("Token Response:", tokenData);

res.send(\`

  <h2> OAuth Success!</h2>

  <p><b>Access Token:</b> ${tokenData.access_token}</p>

  <p><b>Refresh Token:</b> ${tokenData.refresh_token}</p>

  <p><b>Expires In:</b> ${tokenData.expires_in} seconds</p>

\`);

```

} catch (err) {

```
console.error(" Token Error:", err);

res.status(500).send("Error exchanging authorization code for token");

```

}

});

When ever I was run code taken new tab in chrome put url like

Then, I got Credentials **Access token and Refresh**  **Token** Like this

After that i was taken Access Token only, After that /v4/me and /v4/accounts api’s call like this then **i got error 401**

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/frame1/original/1X/325bb40d28612c0cc430fae5dfb846852a1e9acd.png)

hi @webworksco getting 401 error when accessing `/v4/me` most likely means you have an issue with your [frame.io](http://frame.io) account not being linked to an Adobe ID. You can solve that by following these steps: [Connecting to Adobe authentication | Frame.io V4 Knowledge Center](https://help.frame.io/en/articles/11758018-connecting-to-adobe-authentication)

For anyone in the future, the issue was a missing `additional_info.roles` scope in the initial request.
