Until last Friday I was able to access my Sandbox MsAds account via API (in python).
Now it fails because I need to refresh the credentials and I can't access the login page (it returns a 403 Forbidden):
The Python library gives me this URL:
https://login.windows-ppe.net/consumers/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id=...&scope=https://api.ads.microsoft.com/msads.manage%20offline_access&response_type=code&redirect_uri=....&prompt=login
It gives me a direct error 403, so I can't continue. Should I change something?
I'm using the following library:
Name: bingads
Version: 13.0.14
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: For your information. We think that windows-ppe has been deprecated so we updated the library and tried to use an "outlook" account (instead of an "outlook-int" account), but we still haven't managed to authenticate properly (see replies to Julian Selser's comments).

Im in the same boat since last week...
FYI: I checked the change log of the BingAds API Python library and I guess they are just removing support to this way of connecting to sandbox.
https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-Python-SDK/blob/main/HISTORY.rst#1302422025-04-28
I will have to learn how to connect from my test now, but as a workaround (while I don't have time for this) I'll just skip all live tests and keep only the mocked ones...

answering like this because I cant reply to replies apparently...
the changelog seems a bit cryptic but I think its about not being able to use @outlook-int.com addresses.
I guess we will see but there is no official communication, my tests are also disabled...
I just tried updating the library and adding an "outlook" user, and I think I need some more changes in my own code because now I have this error message (I'll have to check where do I specify the "scope", when I have more time).
The scope https://si.ads.microsoft.com is not valid. The scope format is invalid. Scope must be in a valid URI form <https://example/scope> or a valid Guid <guid/scope>.
btw I was able to generate an access token and run the sandbox examples for the SDK version 13.0.4 so an option may be downgrading...
java library maintainer just answered here: https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-Java-SDK/issues/223#issuecomment-2903455633
unfortunately Im not sure what it means but maybe you do lol, seems related to the email and domain somehow.
oh also your scope should probably have the last bit as follows:
https://si.ads.microsoft.com/msads.manage

Me too. The docs changed, but the instructions there do not seem to work either.
