SharePoint Site created in Dutch. Generated Refresh and access tokens doesn't work and throws 401 UNAUTHORIZED in case of file upload and download through SharePoint Rest APIs

Question

When we create a SharePoint site and register an app, we can generate the Refresh and Access tokens by registering required permissions for the App.
Using the generated Access token, we can also Upload a document or download a document from the SharePoint site through the SharePoint REST APIs.

Now we have created a SharePoint site selecting language as Dutch instead of English.

Registered an App with required permissions in a similar way and have generated the Refresh and Access tokens.

But while uploading or downloading any document through the SharePoint REST API, we are getting 401 UNAUTHORIZED.

We have also observed that the "Shared Documents" folder gets renamed to "Gedeelde documenten" in case of the Site in Dutch, and we tried in that way as well but with the same error response.

Hi @Roy, Saikat

Judging from your error message, you did not verify correctly.

Please try to add Bearer in front of the token
