# The OAuth 2.0 Token Endpoint

`POST /oauth2/token`

The client makes a request to the token endpoint by sending the
following parameters using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" HTTP
request entity-body.

> Do not implement a client for this endpoint yourself. Use a library. There are many libraries
> available for any programming language. You can find a list of libraries here: https://oauth.net/code/
>
> Do note that Hydra SDK does not implement this endpoint properly. Use one of the libraries listed above!
