const tokenUrl = pm.environment.get('oauth-token-url');
const clientId = pm.environment.get('oauth-token-id');
const clientSecret = pm.environment.get('oauth-token-secret');
const scope = 'resource.READ';
const grantType = 'client_credentials';

const getTokenRequest = {
    method: 'POST',
    url: tokenUrl,
    header: [{ key: 'Content-Type', value: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }],
    body: {
        mode: 'urlencoded',

            { key: 'client_id', value: clientId },
            { key: 'client_secret', value: clientSecret },
            { key: 'grant_type', value: grantType },
            { key: 'scope', value: scope }
        ]
    }
};

pm.sendRequest(getTokenRequest, (err, response) => {
    const jsonResponse = response.json();
    newAccessToken = jsonResponse.access_token;

    pm.environment.set('accessToken', newAccessToken);
});
