How can I get the v4 API key, please? Also, I want to automatically update the status of the file.

I need help with the endpoints and the payload for that.

I tried creating the token, but it’s not working with version 4.

Hi @Kamran!

V4 requests are authenticated via OAuth 2.0, so you’ll need to generate an access token to make API calls.

If you haven’t already, your first step is going to be creating a project in your Adobe Developer Console (found here: [Adobe Developer Console](https://developer.adobe.com/developer-console/)) and adding the Frame.io API to your project. From there, you’ll be able to grab your client ID and client secret.

The next step is fetching the access token via IMS (Adobe Identity Management Service). For a full walkthrough on this, check out this [Authentication Guide](https://developer.adobe.com/developer-console/docs/guides/authentication/UserAuthentication/implementation#oauth-web-app-credential).

[This page](https://next.developer.frame.io/platform/docs/guides/authentication) of our docs has some authentication information you may find helpful as well.

As for updating the status of a file, can you tell me a bit more about what you’re trying to do here? Are you trying to track the review workflow of a file?
