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!
