I’m trying to create an HTTP node to generate a token.

In postman I managed to generate the token, but I am not able to replicate the information here on n8n.

Can someone help me assemble this request correctly?

Below 3 images. The first is how the parameters are in postman. The second is how I’m authenticating and the third is how I’m trying to fetch the token.

Hi @Leal_05, welcome to the community!

You wouldn’t need to send a manual HTTP request to the token endpoint when using n8n.

Instead you’d simply click the **Connect my account** button on the credentials screen, n8n would then use the provided URLs to request the token (and also refresh it in the background as needed):
