Overview

VK provides VKontakte APIs — OAuth-based (a missing token returns HTTP 200 with error_code 15, verified).

Quick Start

Users (needs token):

curl "https://api.vk.com/method/users.get?v=5.131" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
{ "error": { "error_code": 15, "error_msg": "Access denied: token required" } }

Authentication

  • VK app → OAuth 2.0 token.
  • Send it via header/params (missing → 200 + error 15, verified).

⚠️ Gotcha (verified): a missing token returns HTTP 200 with error_code 15 — check error.

Rate Limits & Notes

  • Free tier with limits (check the docs).
  • Users, wall, messages.

FAQ

Is VK free? Free tier with limits; more is paid.
