Access token API keeps throwing Bad request

Hi,
I recently started to version 3 migration. My app was working good with version 2.
With version 3, I am unable to get access token even after I provided all required params (api_key, request_token and checksum). I always get bad request with message "Missing or invalid field `api_key`. Min length is 6."
I am trying access token post using RestClient (chrome plug in)
Please let me know if I am missing any.
Thanks

    You need to make a form request (send data in the body) and not JSON POST request.

    Hi Sujith,

    I tried as a form request as you suggested. I am getting this message now:
    "message": "Token is invalid or has expired."

    Thanks.

    Hi Sujith,

    Thanks for the pointer to the thread. However, am getting "Token is invalid or has expired." on the first call of session/token. I am not getting the access token at all.

    Thanks

    But this message can be seen only when you try to re-use the access token.

    @tonystark I was getting the access token with v2. I am facing this problem after v3 migration. I dont see any changes in API request to get the access token from v2 to v3.

    Note: I create an app last year, used for a month and was inactive till this month, this month I reactivated it to migrate to v3. Is this any cause?

    Thanks

    @chamu,
    You need to make a form request for fetching access token. The earlier version of Kite Connect API was accepting json request also but now it is mandatory to send a form request with data in the body.
    It has nothing to do with your app being inactive for some time.

    Can you enable debug logs and paste it here?
    You may also paste the code here.
