https://developer.infusionsoft.com/authentication/#request-access-token

grant_type string
...The only current valid value is grant_type=authorization_code Defaults to authorization_code

Additionally, never share your Client Secret, it is effectively a password to your API account.

Hey, the link you posted is about Requesting Access Token NOT “Refresh an Access Token”. Can you please take a look at the question one more time? Can you look at this link Refresh Access Token

I am having exact same error, need solution.

Hi @Jagdish_Narkar, make sure that you are making a POST to the token endpoint and sending the data as content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Here’s an example request using cURL:

## Refresh Access Token
curl -X "POST" "https://api.infusionsoft.com/token" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8' \
     -u 'CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET' \
     --data-urlencode "refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN" \
     --data-urlencode "grant_type=refresh_token"

Thanks Nicolas, Only one question regarding data, it should be as follows?
grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Can you please confirm?

Correct, and those should be URL encoded and in the POST body, not the URL.
