How to Get Access Token Through POST HTTP Request?

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to use Refinitiv API through HTTP request to get real-time data in my workflow, but I am stuck at the first step of getting access token. I am not sure what I should put in the URL field. I would really appreciate it if I can get any help or instruction from you, thank you!

1709166483691.png Also, if I use OAuth 2, can anyone please provide me some instructions regarding how to fill in these fields? Thank you! It's my first time to use API, so many things are a bit confusing to me, I would really appreciate your help!!1709166402109.png
