Overview
VK provides VKontakte APIs — OAuth-based (a missing token returns HTTP 200 with error_code 15, verified).
Quick Start
Users (needs token):
curl "https://api.vk.com/method/users.get?v=5.131" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"{ "error": { "error_code": 15, "error_msg": "Access denied: token required" } }Authentication
- VK app → OAuth 2.0 token.
- Send it via header/params (missing → 200 + error 15, verified).
⚠️ Gotcha (verified): a missing token returns HTTP 200 with
error_code 15— checkerror.
