[article updated December 1, 2020]
Recently, a huge number of online services, computer or mobile applications, and scripts have appeared that are designed for VKontakte, but for them to work you must be authorized through an access_token.
Some services provide the ability to obtain an access key, which is necessary for authorization. This takes a few seconds. But what if you downloaded the script, but don’t have the required access_token key?
How to create a public VK?
Brief instructions for obtaining a community token
Go to community settings. (if you don’t have a community, then you need to create one):
1. Working with Api > 2. Get the key > 3. Copy it (this is the key (token) and is the access_token of the community)
That's all. And if you need a user token, then all the necessary information is below in the article.
Get a token through the application:
- through your own application (you create it yourself)
- through the official application (not yours)
What is a token?
A token (access_token) is a key or access code.
It is also called signature, encrypted information, secret cipher. Not to be confused with login and/or password, these are completely different things.
Login and password are input data from the page. A token is a combination that allows or denies a specific set of actions.
What is this key for? What does it open, sign, and what information does it store?
- This is the key to access VKontakte API methods;
- API methods are a set of tools or actions by which one program communicates with another;
When a user performs an action in VK through an auxiliary utility, the server identifies him. This is done in order to define the technical specifications for this application.
For example, a user logs into VK through Kate Mobile. If he visits the page, the server knows whether he is a host or a guest. For the latter, only part of the information is displayed, limited by privacy settings. The owner has full access. That is, both for hidden photos and for personal data and the ability to make any settings. Or the user wants to place something on the wall. The server indicates whether this program has access to this action. If yes, it allows you to post, otherwise an error occurs. Etc
How does the system perform identification? Read the user's signature. Same sign. This is one long string of English letters and numbers. Contains the person's full name and a list of allowed functions.
If someone can recognize someone else's token, they can log into VK on behalf of its owner. As a result, you get full access to his abilities and powers.
The code can correspond to either a user, a community or an application (for example, a game). The group access key is created in its settings. Applications are in the program settings. User: automatically added when a person logs into VK.
Here is an example of a custom token action:
- A person is trying to access an application through his VKontakte account. For example, through an alternative client;
- You can allow or deny access. In the first case, you can access this utility through VK. In addition, a key will be generated and you will not need to authorize anything the next time you log in. In the second, n.
- The user receives a message with approximately the following content: Application “N” requires access to the following sections of your VKontakte account: Messages, Wall, Contact List, Groups;
- VKontakte simply will not allow a third-party program to work independently. Make a request to learn more about the application;
The most popular NFT projects
The NFT space continues to gain momentum this year thanks to companies that entered this niche at the very beginning, as well as companies that are just entering the popular field, trying to build on the success of their “brainchild”, increasing the popularity of the brand.
The most relevant and popular projects in the NFT niche at the moment are:
- CryptoKitties;
- F1 Delta Time;
- Aavegotchi;
- Gods Unchained.
We have already talked about the game CryptoKitties. This game is a pioneer among other companies in the NFT field. People raise and care for pixel cats.
Subsequently, they have the right to put them up for auction and sell them. Of course, at the start in 2022, the project was at a crazy peak. 4 years later, a lot has changed and now CryptoKitties is losing its leading position in the top to its competitors.
The blockchain-based game F1 Delta Time is often compared to the game of collecting NBA player cards, only in this case users are hunting for items from the Formula 1 racing competition.
You can collect cards of racers, cars, tracks and other items from the automotive segment. In addition to the fact that the game is interesting to compete with other participants, you can earn a lot of money in it. For example, if the track you purchased was used for a race, you will receive a bonus payment.
Aavegotchi is an extremely interesting, profitable and popular project, the developers of which have always stated that their game was made for the sake of fun and the development of the De-Fi sphere. The player receives a character for his use.
It needs to be pumped up and dressed up in order to win battles with opponents. A well-leveled character can be sold or kept for your collection.
Gods Unchained is a card game based on blockchain technology, which makes it transparent, reliable and protected from scammers. In this game you will need the ability to think strategically, make complex decisions and have an analytical mind.
Recently, the project has strengthened its position in the tops and is without a doubt among the top 5 most popular games using NFT tokens.
We have reviewed the most popular projects, now we will tell you about NFT tokens with the highest value.
How to find out the token?
Let's see how to find out and where to find your VKontakte page and community token.
Profile code
You must understand that not all pages have a token. This is not an analogue of a login and password, so, as a rule, few people need it. If you haven't generated the keys yet, the following instructions will throw an "Error".
So, let's look at how to find out or where to get the VKontakte token of your page (and not someone else's):
This is done directly from the browser:
- Paste the following link into the address bar: https://api.vk.com/oauth/token?grant_type=password & client_id = 2274003 & client_secret = hHbZxrka2uZ6jB1inYsH & username = & password=.
- The combination after “access_token =” and before “&user_id” is token_access;
- Press Enter;
- Copy it or write it on a piece of paper.
- Instead of “Username”, enter the phone number to which the link to the page leads, instead of “Password”, enter your password.
Group access key
Let's say you are the administrator of a certain community. Previously, you connected the chatbot constructor service to it. An access key has been generated that you would like to view now.
Where to find and how to find out the VK group token?
- Go to your community;
- Click on the "Manage" button;
- Go to “Working with API”;
- Done, now you understand how to find a VK group token for a bot. You can see other signatures in the same way.
- Click. Then confirm the action (code on your phone), and the combination will become fully visible.
- A window will appear with a hidden list of access keys. Next to each there is a “Show” button;
Application key
Let's look at how to find out a user's token by the application ID that he created in VK:
- Go to the section for creating applications: https://vk.com/apps?act=manage; Click "Create";
- Select the “Standalone” type, come up with a name;
- Save;
- The second field from the top will display the access key.
- Find "Settings" in the left column";
To enable the application, paste the link into the address bar of your browser: https://oauth.vk.com/authorize?client_id=12345&scope=photos,audio,video,docs,notes,pages,stato,offerte,quande, toolbar, groups, emails, notifications, statistics, advertising, offline, documents, pages, statistics, notifications and response_type = token. Replace 12345 with your application ID.
After pressing Enter, a window will appear with permissions, which, if confirmed, will be written to the token.
✅ Receiving a token through your own application.
- Using your own application. This method assumes that you have your own application. If you don't have one, it's time to create one. This is very easy to do: just go to the link vk.com/apps?act=manage and click “Create an application”.
The system will ask you to enter a name for the application. For example, you can use "Get access_token". Check if the "Standalone application" checkbox is checked. Then click "Connect App".
To confirm your application, you will need to enter a code that will be sent to the specified phone number. At this stage of creating the application, you can pin your mobile device to the VKontakte page. To do this, click on “Connect device”. You can do it without connecting to an account. Then you just need to click on the “Verify via SMS” link.
After confirmation of registration, a page with information about the created application will open. Click Settings in the left corner. Here client_id: VKontakte application ID.
The ID must be copied. Next: paste the link, replacing APPLICATION_ID. It will look something like this:
https://oauth.vk.com/authorize?client_id=5563738&scope=notify,photos,friends,audio,video,notes,pages,docs,status,questions,offers,wall,groups,messages,notifications,stats,ads, offline&redirect_uri=https://api.vk.com/blank.html&display=page&response_type=token
5563738 is the Application ID you created. You will get a similar combination. After creating the application, let's move on to the question of how to get the access_token.
Is it possible to find out someone else's access code?
So, you are interested in how to find out the token of another person, for example a friend on VK. We already wrote at the beginning that this is impossible. At least in a legal or official way. This information is considered private and is reliably protected by the social network's security system.
If you know how to hack, then go ahead! But you must understand that you are committing a crime. With all the ensuing consequences. On the Internet you can find many ways to find out the VKontakte token of another person, both working and non-working. We are against illegal actions and therefore will not recommend anything here. They mentioned this only for the sake of completeness.
Who can make money from NFTs
At the moment, the field of NFT tokens is very young and has not yet become popular. Therefore, large corporations, companies and billionaires have not yet entered this market, thanks to which there is an opportunity for talented authors to earn money. Here, as in any other life situation tied to money, you need luck, an idea and a lot of work. Anyone can find themselves in this field, from an artist to a writer.
Let's take as a basis the example given just above, how an artist from the USA managed to sell a large collage for 69 million dollars from 5 thousand images (he painted it for 13 years). This seems strange, because how could one earn so much money from pixels posted on the Internet?
If we talk about music, then you can safely exhibit your compositions on various thematic portals and make a profit from them. As was said at the beginning, this will protect the musician from losing part of the income given to managers and studios. In addition, the blockchain network shows the promise of this area. So far, the amounts are not comparable to games or art projects, but if a famous artist like “Eminem” or “Weekend” enters this area, everything can quickly change.
NFT tokens have gained enormous popularity in the field of online games, for example, “crypto kittens”, giving users the opportunity to earn good amounts. You just need to devote a lot of time to your pixel pets. The option with cards also looks optimistic, considering what records are currently being set by the cards of NBA or Formula 1 players. A rare NFT token can be valued at a tidy sum.
How to get an application access key
- Go to the application management section: https://vk.com/apps?act=manage
- We collect data:
- Click “Create an application”
I chose "Site" as the platform
- We go to “Application Settings”, where we see the access key to the service
Where can I get access_token?
Today we will look at how to access VKontakte via a direct link to the VK API (based on the OAuth protocol) or, as it is also called, Implicit Stream. Authorization, if you use this method, is carried out through the VKontakte application called ID. Today this method is considered the safest. You may come across articles that talk about ways to obtain an access_token using applications that are (and for good reason!) suspicious. But today we will talk about how to gain access through official VKontakte applications.
The secret to obtaining a token is to follow a link containing the ID of a specific VKontakte application.
The link may look like this:
https://oauth.vk.com/authorize?client_id=APP_ID&scope=notify,photos,friends,audio,video,notes,pages,docs,status,questions,offers,wall,groups,messages,notifications,stats,ads, offline&redirect_uri=https://api.vk.com/blank.html&display=page&response_type=token
If we understand this, the question arises: where can we find this link?
Next, I will talk about two main methods that will allow you to receive a token:
Do I need a specific wallet to use NFTs?
It all depends on the network in which you want to create your token. Fortunately, most wallets today support the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks, and there is not much difference between the wallets. Both blockchains are the most popular for creating NFTs.
The most important thing here is to check the blockchain network on which your token is created. If it is an Ethereum token, you will need a wallet that supports Ethereum. If Tezos, then you will need a wallet that supports Tezos.
For convenience, we recommend using MetaMask or Trust Wallet. These two crypto wallets support multiple blockchains. However, you should always check if your wallet supports the specific blockchain your token is on.
How to get a community access key
- Login to the community you are an administrator of.
- Go to the “Management” section
- Go to the “Working with API” section
- Click on “Create a key” and select the required access rights:
- Click "Create"
- Confirm the creation of the key:
- You will receive an SMS or push notification from the selected type of action confirmation
- The key was created successfully
* To work with the Callback API and Long Poll API, use the community token you received earlier.
