I create the string ``Basic ${client_id}:{client_secret}`` and put the base64 representation in the header under Authorization. Then I make a post request to
{token_url}?grant_type=refresh_token&refreshtoken=${refreshtoken}b

09/06/2021, 2:12 AMlook into form encoding harder, its a way of encoding parameters into the body
battk
09/06/2021, 2:13 AMthe minor spoiler is that you should be using a library that does the encoding for you

09/06/2021, 2:39 AMThat was embarrassing. Switched the method and the encoding then it worked.
Thanks for the help.
