Please help me understand the following. I decided to use the OAuthAuthenticator class and create my own custom authenticator So I add two methods oauth_request_body and create_for_stream Then when I ran it I immediately got an error The question is why can't I use the config in this place?

config

is an instance (

self

) property, not a class (

cls

) property so you cannot access it like that. You need to override the

auth_endpoint

property in your authenticator class like this: https://github.com/Matatika/tap-auth0/blob/8e3097a3ce4e908c0c8a4db41b28e63f9804c46e/tap_auth0/auth.py#L13-L15

thank you man!

You can inspect the request from a response with

Response.request

, so you could log that out wherever appropriate. From that error, it sounds like maybe you've configured your

client_id

config as

secret

, which will interpret the value as a `SecretString` instance (as opposed to a

str

). All you need to do in this case is ensure you are casting the value of

client_id

to

str

in your

auth_headers

and

http_headers

implementations, or don't make

client_id

a

secret

(a client ID probably doesn't need to be anyway).

does this mean I have to do the same with the username and password in the oauth request body function? I made it a secret temporarily so that I can test how it works (probably for username and password I won't get this error because it's a request body)

Can you make the same request successfully through Postman or similar?

yes sure. (But I need to get a token first)
