Hi MansoorJafari9,

The access point you are calling is a transitional feature, intended to transform outdated OAuth1 token to OAuth2 token. It's not a good idea to use such a feature in new code! Issuing such type of tokens (OAuth1) is dropped already, in spite existing can still be used (that's what is mentioned feature for). That, what you are using, are application key and application secret, not OAuth1 token and OAuth1 secret!!! 😉 That's why you are getting errors. Use OAuth2 tokens (refresh and access) instead - they are the actual.

Hope this gives direction.
