# OAuth::getAccessToken

Fetch an access token

### Description

public array OAuth::getAccessToken ( string `$access_token_url` [, string `$auth_session_handle` [, string `$verifier_token` ]] )

Fetch an access token, secret and any additional response parameters from the service provider.

### Parameters

`access_token_url`

  URL to the access token API.

`auth_session_handle`

  Authorization session handle, this parameter does not have any citation in the core OAuth 1.0 specification but may be implemented by large providers. » See ScalableOAuth for more information.

`verifier_token`

  For service providers which support 1.0a, a `verifier_token` must be passed while exchanging the request token for the access token. If the `verifier_token` is present in `$_GET` or `$_POST` it is passed automatically and the caller does not need to specify a `verifier_token` (usually if the access token is exchanged at the oauth_callback URL). » See ScalableOAuth for more information.

### Return Values

Returns an array containing the parsed OAuth response on success or `FALSE` on failure.

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
1.0.0 | Previously returned `NULL` on failure, instead of `FALSE`.
0.99.9 | The `verifier_token` parameter was added

### Examples

Example #1 OAuth::getAccessToken example

`<?php
try {
$oauth = new OAuth(OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY,OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET);
$oauth->setToken($request_token,$request_token_secret);
$access_token_info = $oauth->getAccessToken("https://example.com/oauth/access_token");
if(!empty($access_token_info)) {
print_r($access_token_info);
} else {
print "Failed fetching access token, response was: " . $oauth->getLastResponse();
}
} catch(OAuthException $E) {
echo "Response: ". $E->lastResponse . "\n";
}
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:

    Array
    (
        [oauth_token] => some_token
        [oauth_token_secret] => some_token_secret
    )
