Yelp API Validation_Error when making post request

I'm trying to get an access token from the Yelp API and have read the instructions from the developers page as well as the documentation for requests and when I try to make the request, it returns {"error": {"code": "VALIDATION_ERROR", "description": "/oauth2/token/"}} I looked up error codes on the Yelp developer page but didn't find this error code.

import json
from pip._vendor import requests
clientID= 'my id as a string'
clientSecret ='my secret as a string'
par = {'grant_type' : 'client_credentials', 'client_id':clientID,'client_secret':clientSecret}
content = requests.post('https://api.yelp.com/oauth2/token/',params=par)
print(content.text)

Can someone please help me see what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

Please see below code. It is absolutely correct and working example code.

import requests

app_id = 'client_id'
app_secret = 'client_secret'
data = {'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
        'client_id': app_id,
        'client_secret': app_secret}
token = requests.post('https://api.yelp.com/oauth2/token', data=data)
access_token = token.json()['access_token']
url = 'https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search'
headers = {'Authorization': 'bearer %s' % access_token}
params = {'location': 'San Bruno',
          'term': 'Japanese Restaurant',
          'pricing_filter': '1, 2',
          'sort_by': 'rating'
         }

resp = requests.get(url=url, params=params, headers=headers)

import pprint
pprint.pprint(resp.json()['businesses'])
