Had to switch over to using Walmart's new oAuth-based authentication to generate an access token for integration into their Seller Center API. Had to piece together information from a few web sources so figured would post our request code here in case anyone else had to do the same.

string uri = "https://marketplace.walmartapis.com/v3/token";

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Basic", Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(CLIENT_ID + ":" + CLIENT_SECRET)));

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("WM_SVC.NAME", "Walmart Marketplace");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("WM_QOS.CORRELATION_ID", System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()); //any random ID
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("WM_SVC.VERSION", "1.0.0");

HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, uri);

List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> lstKVs = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
lstKVs.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type", "client_credentials"));
request.Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(lstKVs);
request.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

We recently added a new line of roll flagging tape, barricade (barrier) tape, and marking flags to our extensive product line-up. These high-quality, non-adhesive marking and barricade products are produced by Presco, a leading U.S. company, located in Sherman, Texas for over 75 years. Presco is America's premier manufacturer of safety marking products and engineered films offering solutions across a wide range of industries.

Barricade, also called barrier tape, and roll flagging tapes are typically brightly colored non-adhesive tapes used to warn and/or draw attention to a particular area or hazard to avoid. Often these tapes have designated colors for specific hazards which can be solid colored or printed with messages like DANGER, CAUTION, WETLANDS, and more. Roll Flagging and Barricade non-adhesive tapes can be quickly and easily placed to provide warning of physical hazards or dangerous situations for road repairs; buried pipes, wires, cables, police, fire and sheriff warnings, preventing costly injuries, damage, and downtime.

A wide array of industries and organizations use these tapes daily including surveying, trail marking and other industrial applications like construction, forestry, hardware, oil exploration, nursery, mining, and geophysics. In addition, they are used by professionals in law enforcement, emergency management, safety, utilities, and more.

Marking Flags are a standard for homeowners and used extensively in the landscaping, construction, athletic field marking, utility construction, line locating and forestry industries. If you need a long-lasting and colorful above-ground marking flag then Presco's line of marking flags, in over 15 colors, is your solution. Available in either steel wire or plastic staffs, they are ideal for driveway marking for snow removal, pet containment and barrier training, landscape sprinkler marking, property delineation, for sporting events and much more.
