If you are using C#, the request to get access token would be as following:

 

var clientHandler = new HttpClientHandler
{
    UseCookies = false,
};
var client = new HttpClient(clientHandler);
var request = new HttpRequestMessage
{
    Method = HttpMethod.Get,
    RequestUri = new Uri("https://login.microsoftonline.com/<your_tenant_id>/oauth2/v2.0/token"),
    Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new Dictionary<string, string>
    {
        { "client_id", "<your_client_id>" },
        { "scope", "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api/.default" },
        { "client_secret", "<your_client_secret>" },
        { "grant_type", "client_credentials" },
    }),
};
using (var response = await client.SendAsync(request))
{
    response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
    var body = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    Console.WriteLine(body);
}
