Is Trading API with Application Token impossible?

[mathman87vw4]

I'm trying to use the Trading API with OAuth.  The sentence "All of the above APIs" in the following documentation link (https://developer.ebay.com/api-docs/static/oauth-trad-apis.html#Standard) suggests that I cannot client credentials generated by a client id and secret (and I must have a redirect URL and consent "page").  Is this correct?

In my situation, I'm building a custom script that interacts with the Trading API.  In other words, I don't have a redirect URL or a web page where I sign-in or consent.  I would like the custom script to execute straight through with having to cut-and-paste a new user token periodically.

Hi @mathman87vw4,

You can not use the Application Access Token minted with The client credentials grant flow to execute the Trading API calls.

You can only use the OAuth User Access token minted The authorization code grant flow or Auth`n`Auth token to execute the Trading API calls.
