OAuth 2.0 getting access token issue on postman

[Sreedhar M]

I'm trying to generate the access/refresh tokens using postman.

I have given Get method and provided the instance url as https://xxxxxx.service-now.com/oauth_token.do and under headers section, provided all the required key value pairs, like client id, secret, username, password and grant type.

And when I hit Send button , getting the below error,

{

   "error_description": "access_denied",

   "error": "server_error"

}

please help me to get the tokens.

Oops, I was using key value pairs under Headers section, instead of Body, my bad. Now Postman working to generate the acces/refresh tokens. 🙂

Thanks Ankur for your valuable time. Let me mark your answer as correct.

@Ankur Bawiskar  One last question, how can we automate getting access token for every 30minutes as it expires after 30 mins. This is required when we schedule alerts/notifications.
