Invalid Application Credentials with Websockets
Using websocket_authentication_argp.py and the credentials provided by the refinitiv team, I tried to connect to UAT and got "Invalid Application Credential".
Have the credentials somehow expired, or did I misunderstand the usage of the credentials?
More details, obtained by running with --debug 7:

You are connecting to ppe endpoint and not the production one at https://api.refinitiv.com:443/auth/oauth2/v1/token. Can you please confirm that you can connect to it and that your credentials are valid on production setup as well.
Hey @Gurpreet ,
I don't want to connect to production yet as I'm in the early stages of development. I want to connect to UAT. Is this not the right endpoint?
I have been advised that there is no UAT MachineID associated with your account.
contrib-ws1-emea1.uat.platform.refinitiv.com is a UAT endpoint
If you want to contribute to UAT - you will need to ask your Refinitiv account team to provide you with a MachineID which has been configured for UAT access.
Just to be clear, there is a UAT authentication endpoint and UAT Contribution endpoints - based on my understanding of your most recent posts, you are:
Authenticating against the Production Auth gateway, but then trying to contribute to a UAT Contribution endpoint.
Hey, thanks!
Indeed, it seems that there was a lot of confusion so far.
Let me know if the following makes sense as next steps then
1. Ask my account manager for my ID for UAT.
2. Use https://api.ppe.refinitiv.com/auth/oauth2/v1/token to obtain the auth token.
3. Use contrib-ws1-emea1.uat.platform.refinitiv.com for contribution.
Sure - for UAT contributions you will need to auth against the PPE Auth endpoint.
Once authenticated, you can contribute to the uat contrib endpoint.
I understand that the RCC Team has created UAT credentials for you and you should receive them soon from your Refintiv account rep.
Please use them with the following endpoints:
Auth Gateway - https://api.ppe.refinitiv.com/auth/oauth2/v1/token
RCC - contrib-ws1-emea1.uat.platform.refinitiv.com
