I am following the steps from OAuth 2.0 box guide (https://box-content.readme.io/docs/oauth-20).

First I authorize my application using this URL:

 

 

https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=&redirect_uri=http://localhost:8081/callback&state=security_token 

Then, I request the token to https://api.box.com/oauth2/token using this body.

 

 

 

{
  "grant_type": "authorization_code",
  "code": "",
  "client_id": "",
  "client_secret": ""
}

The code is the same as the first step return me at the URL.

But I always get the same error:

 

{
    "error": "invalid_request",
    "error_description": "Invalid grant_type parameter or parameter missing"
}

What can solve that problem?

   could you please provide your applications client ID and a date/time/timezone you received this error so I can take a closer look on the backend? 

   

  As a friendly reminder, please do not post sensitive data (like a client secret) in a public forum. We have gone ahead and redacted the previously provided information. A client ID is okay to share though!

  Hi ,

  The client ID is:

  And the date/time/timezone: 18:42 (CET) Spain Time at 20/01/2019.

  Thanks for the recommendation. However, the request data was changed (Some characters).

  Regards,
