Dear all

I am struggling with getting the access token from hubspot oauth server.  
Read a few related comments, tried several suggestions, but still no success.  
Certainly I followed the respective manual, but from my side of view, there are somehow a missing part.  
The manual does not contain an example of a URL how it should looks like.

As close to the manual, my URL to get the access token looks like this:

-X POST  
--header accept: application/json\  
--header content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\  
[https://api.hubapi.com/oauth/v1/token?client\_id=f2466572-8de0-448d-9147-109e294701eb&client\_secret=56e329a6-0912-4aca-af3d-4e5d12ac3782&code=eu1-da29-950c-4a94-8afb-7c2015d2bee6&grant\_type=authorization\_code](https://api.hubapi.com/oauth/v1/token?client_id=f2466572-8de0-448d-9147-109e294701eb&client_secret=56e329a6-0912-4aca-af3d-4e5d12ac3782&code=eu1-da29-950c-4a94-8afb-7c2015d2bee6&grant_type=authorization_code)

At least I get back a message in JSON Format: It says: Missing or unknown grant type

May anybody give me a hint where I am wrong or better, can tell me how the calling URL should look like?  
Any kind of help in this case is very welcome.

Best regards

Hey, @dmswissdive 👋 Working with OAuth is frustrating at times, for sure.

@Kevin-C @mangelet @RomanGruit any ideas for helping @dmswissdive get setup and running? Or suggestions on what additional information they can include to help the community better understand the root issue?

Thank you!

The accepted solution does not contain any information about the how to solve the problem. What am I missing here? I am, as well, having problems in getting access tokens from my application code.

Were you able to access OAuth? I am too in the same boat and just getting started. I have used APIs for CRM through Postman before but trying to get started with this CRM HubSpot. Can you help?

Hi

No, sadly I was not able to run with oauth. Honestly I did not spend much time for this. In fact, we have given up this project, for other reasons, not about struggling with oauth, so I didn’t go very deep into this topic.
