To get the salesforce access token you need to have two things:

1. Salesforce connected app to get client Id and client secret
2. Salesforce username and password along with security token.

1. Lets create Salesforce connected app

  • Login to Salesforce

  • Click on setup

    • In the left side main search -> Type App Manager -> In the right side corner: Select New Connected App
    • Fill the app info as below.
    • Now click on save.
    • To view Client and Secret key click on Manage Consumer Details then you will able to see client Id and Client secret.

2. Get user security token

  • Click on User profile -> Setting -> Click Left side Reset My Security Token

  • After clicking on reset security token, you will receive token on your salesforce registered email id.

  • And you already have saleforce username and password

Now, its time to call Saleforce Authentication Endpoint to get access token

  • For Production: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
  • Open postman and hit the endpoint with below details:
