Max access_token query parameter removal

Stopped workingSubscribe to MaxShare

Support for authentication using the query parameter access_token was removed on October 17, 2026. Requests that send authentication tokens through query parameters fail since that date. Calls must no longer rely on passing the token in the URL query string.


Calls it hits

  • query parameter access_token

What to use instead of these calls

Pass the token in the Authorization header instead.

In Max's words

Передача токена через query-параметры больше не поддерживается — используйте заголовок Authorization: <access_token>
