401

Request did not include a valid access token:

• The Authorization header is missing or malformed. Include the access token using the Bearer scheme — for example, Authorization: Bearer XYZ.

• The access token is malformed. When building requests manually, check that you copied the token without missing or extra characters at the start or end.

• The access token has expired. Tokens expire after one hour (3,600 seconds). Get a new token using your client credentials (2-legged OAuth) or a refresh token (3-legged OAuth).

403

The access token was valid but can't be used with this API. Inspect the error returned in the meta.errors for details.

Error type	Meaning and common causes
INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE	The access token does not have the OAuth v2 token scope required for this API endpoint. For common causes, see FAQ and troubleshooting.
NOT_EMPLOYER_ACCESS_TOKEN	This endpoint requires an access token that represents an employer. That is, you must specify the employer parameter when requesting the access token. You need to do this for the majority of the Sponsored Jobs API endpoints.
LEGACY_ACCESS_TOKEN_NOT_ALLOWED	Sponsored Jobs API no longer supports access tokens that you get through legacy OAuth endpoints. For updated endpoints, see Integrate with Indeed and call APIs
