Hi. I’m trying to get an access token, but when I make a call to the [https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token/](https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token/) website, I keep getting a 404 error.

I have tried using curl & postman, and keep getting the same error. I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing wrong. The URL below is what I am using, along with the header ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’

[https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token/?client\_id=](https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token/?client_id=)&client\_secret=&grant\_type=client\_credentials

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The documentation documents it as `https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token` which is a differnet URL/Resourse to what you are calling `https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token/`

The no slash on the end is important.
