    Hello PaiChung,

    Below is the snippet i have used. I have passed the body in content.

    //JSON object to send
    var HeaderJson = {
    "Content-Type" : "application/json",
    "Accept" : "application/json"
    }
    //JSON object to send
    var BodyJson = {
    "grant_type" : "",
    "resource" : "",
    "client_id" : "",
    "client_secret" : ""
    }
    var params = {
    headers: HeaderJson /* JSON */,
    url: "" /* STRING */,
    content: BodyJson /* JSON */
    };

    // result: JSON
    var jsonresult = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostJSON(params);

     

    Thanks,

    Hi @sbt,

     

    Please try the following script :

     

    //JSON object to send
    var HeaderJson = {
    "Content-Type" : "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
    "Accept" : "application/json"
    }

    var content = "grant_type=client_credentials&resource=http://some_url&client_id=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&client_secret=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'"


    var params = {
    headers: HeaderJson /* JSON */,
    url: "http://{some_url}" /* STRING */,
    content: content
    };

    // result: JSON
    var jsonresult = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostText(params);

     

     

    Thanks,

    Himanshu
