I have created an application as the documentation says, but I always get this error.

https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/client-credentials/

This is your documentation, can you help me?

This is my app client id: alhd08bt4pv1gt6n9i4ipi8andjscofb

curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token" \

-H"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"\

-d"client_id=alhd08bt4pv1gt6n9i4ipi8andjscofb"\

-d"client_secret=*****"\

-d"grant_type=client_credentials"\

-d"box_subject_type=user"\

-d"box_subject_id=2629647****"

 

Response:

{
    "error": "invalid_grant",
    "error_description": "Grant credentials are invalid"
}
