Since creating a new Access Token for the integration, I'm able to upload sis csv import files with the API. However, I am not able to use any of the other API calls (i.e. create logins, list canvas terms, etc...). Seeing how I am an Admin, I am not sure why this is happening. The error is "Invalid access token" when attempting to use calls other than sis csv import calls.
Previous Access Token worked fine. It expired so I created the new one.
Here is an example of using curl with a list terms call and a file upload call:
W20190643:Canvas crierk$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <Access Token>" 'https://wou.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/1/terms'
{"errors":[{"message":"Invalid access token."}]}W20190643:Canvas crierk$
W20190643:Canvas crierk$ curl -F attachment=@/Users/crierk/Canvas/Terms_20230106-150242.csv -H "Authorization: Bearer <Access Token>" 'https://wou.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/self/sis_imports.json?import_type=instructure_csv'
