OAuth "Exchange authorization code for access token" step gives error but works on localhost

[Rahul Midha]

When authenticating a user, the app successfully reaches the callback URL API Endpoint but while generating token via:

const { data } = await axios.post(
  `https://auth.atlassian.com/oauth/token`,
  {
   grant_type: "authorization_code",
   client_id: process.env.INTEGRATIONS_JIRA_CLIENT_ID,
   client_secret: process.env.INTEGRATIONS_JIRA_CLIENT_SECRET,
   code,
   redirect_uri: "https://staging-api.mydomain.com/api/v1/integration/jira/callback",
  },
);

It returns: 

{

"error": "access_denied",

"error_description": "Unauthorized"

}

But this works successfully in the case of localhost redirect_uri:

http://localhost:2000/api/v1/integration/jira/callback

I modified the callback URL in the developer settings in both cases.

The problem is that when I used the "https://staging-api.mydomain.com" host, it gave the above error.

Hi,

What datatype is code? Shouldn't that be 

{ 
...
code: code,
...
}

Since you're passing an object to the request.

Hi prince, 
code is of string type here. In JavaScript, if you have a variable having name same as an object key name, you can skip writing it again.
So,

{

...

code: code,

...

}

is the same as: 

const code = "<string-value>";

{

...

code,

...

} 

So, I am passing string only.
