Request Access Token

With the received authorization code, the access token can be obtained. The request is made using a POST to oauth2.hin.ch/REST/v1/OAuth/GetAccessToken. The parameters are sent as form data (Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded):

POST /REST/v1/OAuth/GetAccessToken HTTP/1.1
Host: oauth2.hin.ch
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Accept: application/json

grant_type=authorization_code&code=AUTH_CODE&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI&client_id=client_id&client_secret=client_secret

The redirect URI must match the one used when obtaining the authorization code. Please note that the client_secret parameter may not be necessary depending on the configuration.

Obtaining an access token using Curl (authorization code apps.hin.ch):

curl --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --data 'grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=&code=<CODE>&client_id=<client_id>&client_secret=<client_secret>' \
     https://oauth2.hin.ch/REST/v1/OAuth/GetAccessToken

Obtaining an access token using Curl (authorization code with redirect URI):

     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --data 'grant_type=authorization_code&redirect_uri=<REDIRECT_URI>&code=<CODE>&client_id=<client_id>&client_secret=<client_secret>' \
