Hi Deriv Community,

Managing accounts just got easier with our account APIs. They’re designed to help you take control of user accounts, settings, and security.

Here’s a quick look at what’s possible:

- Authorise sessions and API tokens securely
- Retrieve and update account information
- Streamline KYC (Know Your Customer) processes
- Set trading and self-exclusion limits

These account APIs are built for secure, compliant, and personalised interactions on our platforms.

Hello I have been able to complete the oauth set up for a third party application I’m building.

I’m trying to test the authorise endpoint using the user account token retrieved from the redirect url which I’ve registered. I’m testing this on the - Api explorer [API Explorer | Deriv API](https://api.deriv.com/api-explorer/#authorize).

However, I’m getting an error response “The token is invalid”.

I’ll like to know what I could be missing here.  
Thanks.

Hey there,

Thank you for joining the community and for leaving us a comment.

You might be encountering this error because the token provided is invalid, as it does not include the required admin scope.
