Hi Steven_R,
As far as I can see, you are trying authorization by code and mix two different access points calls involved in the auth flow in use - /oauth2/authorize and /oauth2/token. "token_access_type" is valid and usable in the first call, not the second one! 😉 That's where resides your error. On possible results for the second call you can see:
refresh_token String If the token_access_type was set to offline when calling /oauth2/authorize, then response will include a refresh token. This refresh token is long-lived and won't expire automatically. It can be stored and re-used multiple times.
Make a note on meaning for "was" and "when" above. 🙂 Read more carefully documentation.
Hope this helps.

Thanks I have included the parameter at the correct time and it now works.
