And secondly, why are your using your own API Project? This is only for developers or education purposes! * Thread Starter [ricarod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ricarod/) * (@ricarod) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-invalid_request-missing-required-parameter-client_id/#post-4316415) * Thank you for your email. Yes second that is the reason for second error that came out after finding alternatives so let’s go back to initial error.
