Grant_type should be a string “Authorizatiob_code” and that what i set in my call.

I don’t undertsant why he said grant_type is missing …

That’s great ! Your parameters look correct, but maybe in your specific call the value of “authorization_code” being set as the “grant_type” is empty ?

what do you mean by “is empty” ?

ahmed.elkaffas · 2024-09-19T10:03:00.704Z

This means that “authorization_code” in your call has no value

Reason why it’s not working is because you are sending a JSON while API expect x-www-form-urlencoded (like you did in postman)

remove your JSON body, use parameters instead, check the querystring checkbox for each element and add the header for Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

So this is because it won’t read the url encoded with querystring (most api will accept it but not all).
In this case, you need to do that:
Put all your parameters into the body JSON, but instead as json, set it as
grant_type=authorization_code&code=yourcode&… (all key,value pair separated with &)

Another solution is to use the “raw” type instead and uncheck querystring

just need to set body type as Form-data

Jici · 2024-09-19T14:44:53.861Z

All API are differents and could accept different thing. However, the form-data is another type of request. Nice that you found it
