I setup a test OAuth endpoint. I can get a response in powershell using:

Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST -Uri [https://zoom.us/oauth/token](https://zoom.us/oauth/token) -ContentType ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’ -Body @{ grant\_type=‘account\_credentials’; account\_id=‘vExNbhTISm6eoGh0BK6Wqg’ } -Headers @{ Host=‘[zoom.us](http://zoom.us)’; Authorization=‘Basic VDJ5eWVfRDZRZU9kRXcyMlVrXzdLdzpxR2dIN1B0SWFnY2JVdzRFRTVhQTB2T09vMEFwSTU4Uw=’ }

I am not able to get it working within a javascript project. I made a test file and keep getting 400 errors. I found the examples in the forum.

const qs = require(‘qs’);  
const axios = require(‘axios’)  
describe(‘create’, () =\> {  
test(‘returns new meeting’, async () =\> {  
const auth = async () =\> {  
let data = {  
client\_id: ‘vExNbhTISm6eoGh0BK6Wqg’,  
client\_secret: ‘qGgH7PtIagcbUw4EE5aA0vOOo0ApI58S’  
}

```
  const body = JSON.stringify({
    grant_type: 'client_credentials',
    account_id: 'vExNbhTISm6eoGh0BK6Wqg'
  });

  // const body = qs.stringify({
  // grant_type: 'client_credentials',
  // account_id: 'vExNbhTISm6eoGh0BK6Wqg'
  // });
  //
  const config = {
    method: 'post',
    url: 'https://zoom.us/oauth/token',
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
      "Authorization": "Basic "+ new Buffer(data.client_id+":"+data.client_secret).toString('base64')
    },
    data: body
  };

  const result = await axios(config)
      .then(function (res: any) {
        console.log('res', res);
        return res;
      })
      .catch(function (er: any) {
        console.error('er', er);
        throw er;
      });
  console.log('result', result);
}
const authResult = await auth();
console.log('authResult', authResult)

```

})

})

If this is a Server-to-Server OAuth application and not an OAuth application, you need to use `grant_type` = `account_credentials`, not `client_credentials`. Your JavaScript snippet and PowerShell snippet are using different values for this parameter.

Since your `Content-Type` is `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`, you need to be passing a query string and not JSON as the request body.

Be sure to regenerate your application secrets, since they have been disclosed in your snippets.
