API OAuth login shows “account suspended” but personal account works External Inbox

Hello FamilySearch Support,

My personal FamilySearch account is active and working normally.

However, when authenticating through our OAuth API integration
(api-integ.familysearch.org), I receive a message stating that the
account is suspended.

Here is the message:

OAuth authentication succeeds and an access token is issued, and
the /platform/collections endpoint works correctly. However,
calls to /platform/users/current return 401 Unauthorized.

Could you please confirm:

  1. Whether my account is enabled for API access
  2. Whether additional permissions or scopes are required
  3. Whether my account needs to be whitelisted for the INTEG environment

Thank you,
Scott Marsh

We are working with Gordon Clarke on an API with familysearch.org
