How to pass a refresh token using post methode in body

Hi All,

 

EDIT: sorted, please see my own answer

 

I need to use a refresh token to get an acces topen, to get data from an API. The API forces me to use the post methode and as far as i know, that mean i have to put the refesh token in the body of the request, but I am stumped how to do that.

 

I have tried {"refresh_token" : "123456789abcd"}, and any variants i could think of, but it keep coming back with the error "no refresh token"

 

I have also tried :

--data-urlencode
'refresh_token=123456789abc'

For clarification, I can get it to work in postman, where it looks something like below, but how do I translate that to a web request in Fabric, uing post.:

I managed to sort it out, eventually postman was my friend.  After setting it up in the gui i clicked on the code snippet column on the right  and selected http from teh dropdown

That provide the raw output you will need for the body, in my case as simple as:

refresh_token=abc12345678

 

no need for ', ", or {}

 

(My output was origincally set to curl, I guess i learned some postman today 🙂 )
