Hey So I created a OAuth link [Sign In](https://connect.squareup.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=sq0idp-57nhk4HbfcPYKBasdaVdKA&scope=CUSTOMERS_WRITE+CUSTOMERS_READ+PAYMENTS_WRITE_ADDITIONAL_RECIPIENTS&session=false&state=82201dd8d83d23cc8a48caf52b)

What would be the full accurate curl code to take a fee, do you have to add some stuff in the API?

With our API Explorer you can build API requests which also includes [CreateTerminalCheckout](https://developer.squareup.com/explorer/square_2022-10-19/terminal-api/create-terminal-checkout?params=N4IgRg9gJgngCgQwE4ILYFMAu6kGcQBcoAxgBbrEDWEArpoaGrQHaYD6qEz6MDITNVoQCMABlEAaEMRpIk6ZsV4EQAVQDKAERABfKVHQA3AJbF0bCAAdMxrviIgDJs22NRCIYMCenzbnTogUsQQADahFOy4xgDmzAiYsuiEAGYIobjoUrikEADurtioxgBe6FBsxMj0BJhINFkguJTGlmzyZq1RxPIKhHUNeiDMENgemeE4AAQjY1KWCDAYrBbWtsz2jHQQIaiWEWO19ehDC0sK7JgwlskqAMIAggBKmmxwTwCi6h8AcgAqQX4ljaKXQ5k43GUjE4ghqAFZJNJZPJFMo1FpdFIIEgDEhXO4VF5sbj8QFMSA3Og9qMFEo2JQeB4EAB2AAcABY2aIUgBaOH8gBsPM5YF5YFZAE5hDyAMwIMEIYiiYgy9DsgXkww4aJcDzCAB0ol0QA&env=production&v=1). Also here is an example of a request that collects a fee. 🙂

```auto

  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{

        "currency": "USD"
      },

```

this reurns this error

```auto
{
    "errors": [{
        "category": "AUTHENTICATION_ERROR",
        "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
        "detail": "This request could not be authorized."
    }]
}

```

What am i supposed to do? Which account bearer token am i supposed to use? mine or the clients account?

And for Signin code, do i generate that using my bearer token or my clients bearer token? there is no clear documentation

You’ll need to use [OAuth](https://developer.squareup.com/docs/oauth-api/overview) to have the customer authorize your application which will give you an access token that you can use to take payments on the customers behalf. 🙂
