Unable to retrieve API token

Issue #3 resolved
Tracey Clark created an issue

I've tried to retrieve an API token from https://auctionet.hipchat.com/account/api but have been unable to.

  • When I open that URL in Chromium, Atlassian asks me for my Atlassian login (the HipChat and Atlassian logins have been recently merged).
  • I've entered my Atlassian login information, and am redirected to my company's HipChat API URL. https://company.hipchat.com/account/api
  • That page has a list of types of tokens, I'm not sure which one is needed
  • Trying to open https://auctionet.hipchat.com/account/api in Firefox again asks for login, After logging in I am redirected to my "Manage your account" page for Atlassian

It seems that the method for getting the API token has changed since they merged HipChat and Atlassian accounts

    Hya!

    Thank you for the report!

    I updated the API token acquisition URL in the README.

    Just select all the scopes and create yourself a token to use. Not sure which are necessary.

    I've uploaded a new version of the theme in the Downloads section of the project

    Thanks for the clarification. Also, thanks for adding the new theme file for folks to download.

    After testing, the scope that will allow authentication is "View Group", if you want to add that to the documentation. My pidgin HipChat smilies are updated :)

    ❤ Will most certainly add it to the README. I'm happy you found use of the theme 😊
