    Hi Brad Henderson,

    To be honest I'm not familiar with the environment you're using. On the first look though, it uses OkHttp as underlying library. So you can take a look here for a simplistic example - example how OkHttp works. It may be easier for you to encode everything in the body (i.e. pass in the body text: "grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=<REFRESH_TOKEN>&client_id=<APP_KEY>&client_secret=<APP_SECRET>"; replace all "<...>" tags appropriately). Find what matches to desired OkHttp calls exactly in your environment (something, I believe you may do). 😉

    Hope this helps.

     

    PS: Just to avoid confusion: The example supposes JSON content, but in your case the content type is different, so instead of "application/json" (as is in the example) you have to set "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" as content type (MediaType in the example).
