Issues with Bearer Token

First thing

1. On the documentation page, https://wp-oauth.com/docs/general/wp-rest-api-authentication/, when I click support request, it links to https://wp-oauth.com/account/my-tickets/ which is a 404, “Well this is embarrassing ;( — 404 Error We can not find what you are looking for.”

I have bought the plugin. What is the best place to find support? Is it here in wordpress plugin support, via the ‘LiveChat’ on the docs site, or is there a place I can open a support ticket?

2. Bearer token issue

I am unable to successfully use the bearer token header to make an authenticated request to the WP REST API.

For example, the url:
https://blog.londolozi.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/86069/revisions

I have a valid admin user access token.

If I access the url with the parameter ?access_token={the_token}, I can access this endpoint without a problem.

If however I make a request using the Bearer header and the same token, I get “Sorry, you are not allowed to view revisions of this post”, “data”:{“status”:401}

This is what I am using (php curl), just so you can check but I think it should work correctly as it works fine with sending the Basic: client_id:client_secret headers.

$url = 'https://blog.londolozi.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/86069/revisions';
$token = valid_admin_token;

$headers = [
    'Bearer: '.$token,
    'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
];

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

So I am setting the Bearer http header to a valid admin token, and then removing the query parameter ?access_token=the_token, so that the token is passed in the http headers instead, and not as a url parameter (which is the point of bearer header, I believe), however I am getting denied access.

Is there something I am missing or misunderstanding? The documentation is not very comprehensive on this. Thanks so much
