## Endpoint

`POST /oauth/token`

For token-based authentication, use the `oauth/token` endpoint to get an access token for your application to make authenticated calls to a secure API. Optionally, you can also retrieve an ID Token and a Refresh Token. ID Tokens contain user information in the form of scopes you application can extract to provide a better user experience. Refresh Tokens allow your application to request a new access token once the current token expires without interruping the user experience. To learn more, read [ID Tokens](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/tokens/id-tokens) and [Refresh Tokens](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/tokens/refresh-tokens).

Note that the only OAuth 2.0 flows that can retrieve a Refresh Token are:

* [Authorization Code Flow (Authorization Code)](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/authorization-code-flow)
* [Authorization Code Flow with PKCE (Authorization Code with PKCE)](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/authorization-code-flow-with-pkce)
* [Resource Owner Password](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/resource-owner-password-flow)
* [Device Authorization Flow](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/device-authorization-flow)
* Token Exchange\*

This is the flow that regular web apps use to access an API. Use this endpoint to exchange an Authorization Code for a token.
