Hi Guys,

grant_type=authorization_code

&client_id=d1axxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-cf5796d90dd6%40d2076ad6-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-24716a55ea90

&client_secret=RoYzG%2FAmf%2BaRrfNsdfdgLFsdfsxvMSHrj51BK4dUDqdB3%2BO4%3D

&code=<paste the long auth.code from previous step here>

&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F

&resource=00000003-0000-0ff1-ce00-000000000000%2Fyour_site_name.sharepoint.com%40d2076ad6-6179-41cb-b792-24716a55ea90

i have used all the URL in Encoded format as well...
one more thing i was unable to find "application/x-form-urlencoded" value against "Content-type" in header...

Hi Hitesh,

it seems you are trying to do too much.

The process is simpler:

1) Obtain an access token from Azure ACS: The process is here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh454950.aspx. It takes only your client ID and secret.

2) Use the access token in the appid parameter of the call to the translator API. For example in REST method calls: here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff512421.aspx

Hope this helps,
