Hello
Can you guys help me with generate tokens? I'm using a student account to sign in to arcGIS online through my university portal. I created an application and it gave me
Client ID

Client Secret

Temporary Token

but once I try to access a featured layer with this tokens it gives me invalid tokens as you can see in the picture.
as you can see also https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken
gives me a empty page

Hey @OsamaAbualreesh

I'm not entirely confident that student accounts can generate the tokens, but this will clear it up for me. Try using this link here:

https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/generateToken?f=json&username={username}&password={password}&referer=http://www.arcgis.com

And replace username with your username, and password with your password. This should generate a token for you.

Here is the API documentation as well:

Thank you so much,
Yeah most properly student account doesn't generate a token.
