How to get google Authorization Code using POSTMAN

Question

I want to get the Authorization code to generate ACCESS TOKEN and REFRESH TOKEN for my Application. I'm trying to get the job done using POSTMAN. But this seems not working. I'm attaching a screenshot of POSTMAN. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Any useful suggestion or alternative solution is appreciated.

Answer 2

After many tries, I figured it out myself. To Generate the Refresh token and access token the first time, I needed Authorization Code. I thought I need to generate it again and again but it Turns out I needed it only once and when I got the access_token and refresh_token, I can easily generate access_token by using refresh_token. Here's the corrected API request flow-

Using Web

Requesting ACCESS TOKEN and REFRESH TOKEN

Regenerating Access Token using refresh token

It will be easier to do this using settings within the Postman GUI. There is an Authorization tab in which you can specify auth type, configure new tokens, add your client id & secret, etc.
