Familysearch - unauthorized app

Open mlcarson opened this issue 9 months ago • 6 comments

Familysearch is claiming that this app is unauthorized and has created a block on my IP address for using it. Their stance seems to be that any app not on the list there is a violation of their terms of service.

If that's their stance then this app should be withdrawn from the public.

I have already tried without success to obtain authorization from familysearch for this app.

It's a shame. This did exactly what I wanted with minimal effort.

The problem has been solved in jmichault/gramps-kromprogramoj#25 and jmichault/gramps-kromprogramoj#26. I have been able to obtain an access token in Postman using that approach.

But then I don't know how to proceed. If I do a GET request to https://familysearch.org/platform/tree/persons?pids= with that access token in the Authorization header as Bearer <token> then I get 401 Unauthorized.

I solved it by changing the base URL to https://api.familysearch.org.

So you have a token access to use FS API?
