Calling an Microsoft Graph API for token gives error "AADSTS900144: The request body must contain the following parameter: 'grant_type'

I am calling a Graph API URL 

https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}/oauth2/v2.0/token

to get an access token but I am getting the following response.

{
    "error": "invalid_request",
    "error_description": "AADSTS900144: The request body must contain the following parameter: 'grant_type'.\r\nTrace ID: 5ff6b053-9011-4397-89ff-fdb6f31e4600\r\nCorrelation ID: 22509847-199d-4bd8-a083-b29d8bbf3139\r\nTimestamp: 2020-04-01 11:14:00Z",
    "error_codes": [
        900144
    ],
    "timestamp": "2020-04-01 11:14:00Z",
    "trace_id": "5ff6b053-9011-4397-89ff-fdb6f31e4600",
    "correlation_id": "22509847-199d-4bd8-a083-b29d8bbf3139",
    "error_uri": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/error?code=900144"
}

I have an active tenantid, I have an application registered, and I have an active user for the above application say [email protected]; that user has ALL the roles (Global Administrator).

Please find below Postman's request and Response. PostmanSnap

Also I have given API permission as suggested in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/group-post-members?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http

Problem: I have successfully reproduced your error. As you seen below:

enter image description here

Solution:

You are trying in wrong way. You have to send required parameter in form-data on postman with key-value pairs like below format:

grant_type:client_credentials
client_id:b6695c7be_YourClient_Id_e6921e61f659
client_secret:Vxf1SluKbgu4PF0Nf_Your_Secret_Yp8ns4sc=
scope:https://graph.microsoft.com/.default

enter image description here

Code Snippet:

  //Token Request End Point
    string tokenUrl = $"https://login.microsoftonline.com/YourTenant.onmicrosoft.com/oauth2/v2.0/token";
    var tokenRequest = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, tokenUrl);

    //I am Using client_credentials as It is mostly recommended
    tokenRequest.Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new Dictionary<string, string>
    {
        ["grant_type"] = "client_credentials",
        ["client_id"] = "b6695c7be_YourClient_Id_e6921e61f659",
        ["client_secret"] = "Vxf1SluKbgu4PF0Nf_Your_Secret_Yp8ns4sc=",
        ["scope"] = "https://graph.microsoft.com/.default" 
    });

    dynamic json;
    AccessTokenClass results = new AccessTokenClass();
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

    var tokenResponse = await client.SendAsync(tokenRequest);

    json = await tokenResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
    results = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AccessTokenClass>(json);

Class Used:

public class AccessTokenClass
   {
        public string token_type { get; set; }
        public string expires_in { get; set; }
        public string resource { get; set; }
        public string access_token { get; set; }
   }

You could refer to Official document

Hope that would help. If you still have any concern feel free to share.
