ValueError: Unsupported token type: User Access Token

[thiras]

Hello. I've got some error after successfully obtain a token from eBay.

As you can see at its documentation eBay returns "token_type": "User Access Token"

After getting the token without having a problem, when I try to request anything from its endpoint I get;

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've changed token type with "Bearer" manually and it worked.

I'm having this same issue with another provider. @thiras, if you don't mind - please could you tell me how you changed the token_type manually?

[thiras]

@sambragg sure. Check my solution here; https://stackoverflow.com/a/61001852/4132845

Also check register_compliance_hook at the official docs.

This is great, thank you so much @thiras

@thiras I couldn't get your solution to work. Incase anyone else has this issue, what I ended up doing was the following:

import json
from oauthlib.common import to_unicode

self.oauth.register_compliance_hook('access_token_response', self.non_compliant_token)
self.oauth.register_compliance_hook('refresh_token_response', self.non_compliant_token)

def non_compliant_token(self, response):
        token = json.loads(response.text)
        token["token_type"] = "Bearer"
        fixed_token = json.dumps(token)
        response._content = to_unicode(fixed_token).encode("utf-8")
        return response

This avoids having to create a fake class etc.
