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).

Valid access token that cannot be used with this API. Inspect the error returned in the meta.errors for details.

Note

To get the details of an employer, including one of your subaccounts, the required scope is employer.advertising.account.read and the access token must represent the employer.

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.
`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

Unexpected error occurred. The problem is sometimes temporary and the exact same request may succeed after retrying.

If retrying the request does not help, a problem with parsing the request might have occurred. Make sure that all the required parameters are present and that all parameters are correctly formatted.

If you use an access token obtained with client credentials grant type (2-legged OAuth) with the legacy Sponsored Jobs API endpoint, the INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR error occurs. Be sure to use the latest base URL (https://apis.indeed.com/ads).
