VK api. How to get json of all Olegs from the city of Kukuev?

Question

JavaScript

Show examples of users.search
(I already wrote users.search?q=Oleg&access_token=********** so far it swears at the wrong token, although I inserted the protected key as it is, it’s not clear what to do next

Answer 1

Possible Cause of the Error
The users.get() method can be called with one of three key types:

• service key (applications)
  
• community key
  
• user key
  

while users.search() can only be called with a user key.
If users.get()is fired, but users.search()no token error is returned, it is most likely that a Community token or an Application Service Key is being used.
Obtain a User Key . To do this, you need to create your own VK application or use a ready-made one. You do not need to request special rights, just get a token.
In the request to users.search()search only in city N, you will first need to find idthis city N in the Directory of VK cities. There is a database.getCities() method for this - clicking on the link (at the bottom of the page) will perform a search and return several settlements similar to Kukuevo, each with its ownid.
In total, users.search()you will pass the following parameters to the method:

1. v=5.101— API version, required
   
2. access_token=XXXXX- User token in any VK application
   
3. count=1000- without this parameter will return only 20 results
   
4. q=Олег- search string
   
5. city=123— id of the city of Kukuyevo, obtained earlier in database.getCities()
   
6. sex=2- male gender (optional)
   
7. age_from=18- the desired Oleg graduated from school
   
8. age_to=24- probably, the desired Oleg has not yet received a pension
