Onedrive API rejects access token (CompactToken parsing failed with error code: 8004920A)

Hopefully I'm missing something very simple. According to this documentation to get an access token I need to hit the following url:

https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id={client_id}&scope={scope}
&response_type=token&redirect_uri={redirect_uri}

So far this appears to be working as the returned url I get contains

/#access_token=EwAYA61DBAAUcSSzo.......

According to the token flow documentation above,

You can use the value of access_token to make requests to the OneDrive API.

According to this page,

Your app provides the access token in each request, through an HTTP header:

Authorization: bearer {token}

When running curl I give it the exact token I was given before,

curl -X GET \
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drive \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer EwAYA61DBAAUcSSzoTJJs.....

{
"error": {
    "code": "InvalidAuthenticationToken",
    "message": "CompactToken parsing failed with error code: 8004920A",
    "innerError": {
        "request-id": "8780c600-2b7f-45a0-b484-7eca9dfd2697",
        "date": "2019-01-25T19:33:22"
    }
  }
}

Why is the token they provided not working?

What I've tried so far:

One thing to note: the tokens I am receiving are not JWT tokens. Googling the error code pulls up several Stack Overflow questions that seem to imply the graph api is expecting a JWT. If this is the case, am I missing a step to obtaining it?

You can't call Microsoft Graph API after completing the authentication flow for Microsoft accounts (OneDrive personal).

In addition, the authorization process with Microsoft accounts is no longer recommended according the docs and new applications should be developed using Microsoft Graph:

This topic contains information about authorizing an application using Microsoft accounts for OneDrive personal. However, this approach is no longer recommended. New applications should be developed using Microsoft Graph and follow the authorization process in Authorization and sign-in for OneDrive in Microsoft Graph.
