[SalesForce] Salesforce REST API example, error: failed with status 400

I am going through this example of REST web service to salesforce from PHP app, and I was getting the same errors described here. I tried to implement more permanent solution with

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, 'C:\dev\curl\cacert.pem');

from here http://kb.ucla.edu/articles/how-do-i-use-curl-in-php-on-windows .

I downloaded cacert.pem from this link http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html .

It works for the example with google ("https://encrypted.google.com/";) , but does not work with salesforce. I am getting the following error:

Error: call to token URL https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token failed with status 400, curl_errno() 0, curl_error() , response {"error":"unsupported_grant_type","error_description":"grant type not supported"}

Any ideas please how to fix it?

Can you post your curl command?

Also are you passing the security token?

Please see this. Have you passed the username param? Error using Session Id auth with cURL following REST documentation

If you are using Mac or Linux, see this: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_rest/Content/intro_curl.htm

A few things:

You need to use instance_url in the second call
String concatenation in PHP uses '.', not '+'
As Lex mentioned, the cookie jar is not needed with OAuth or the REST API

So your code for the second call should look like:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $json->instance_url . "/services/data/v26.0/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization', 'OAuth ' . $atoken));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

And I hope that isn't your real client secret. If it is, go reset it, right now!

[SalesForce] Simple REST API Web Auth

You have to use OAuth to invoke the Salesforce.com REST API's. All the standard REST (as well as SOAP) API calls require authentication and authorization to access. I assume from your example you are trying to use the OAuth bearer token? Here is a sample that you can use from curl. (It says Chatter API but it applies to all API calls): http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapi/Content/quickstart_connecting.htm

You can also create a unauthenticated REST endpoint via a Force.com Site. http://www.wadewegner.com/2013/03/creating-anonymous-rest-apis-with-salesforce-com/ However this would expose data / operations to anyone calling the REST endpoint so should only be done with care.

Hope that helps.
