I had got the authorization code of my own account and I am trying to use it to get access token.

I am sending post request with thunder client:  
URL: [https://zoom.us/oauth/token](https://zoom.us/oauth/token)  
Method: Post  
Header:  
{  
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded,  
Authorization: Basic Base64Encode(ClientID:ClientSecret)  
}  
the ClientID and ClientSecret are from my registered app in marketplace.  
Body:  
{  
“code”: authorization code,  
“grant\_type”: “authorization\_code”,  
“redirect\_uri”: “localhost:8888”  
}  
When the request been sent, I get status code 200, with:  
{  
“status”: false,  
“errorCode”: -1,  
“errorMessage”: “500 Internal Server Error”,  
“result”: null  
}

there’s another post about 500 internal server error long time ago and seems it’s been fixed at that time. What might be the reason for my problem?

Hi @bobai.ding ,

How you’re accessing the token endpoint is incorrect. Please checkout our public workspace for guidance: [Postman](https://www.postman.com/zoom-developer/workspace/zoom-public-workspace/request/22097587-9f1f9788-6113-490d-9c06-d2eaaf942340?tab=params)
