How to get the access_token to call the Apex REST service from outside using the Rest Client ?
I have a connected App and that gives me
Consumer Secret : 1180XXXXXXXXXX Consumer Key : MVG9d8..z.hXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When I used below URL, I got the error:
https://ap5.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token?client_id="3MVG9d8..z.hDcPJZPIzGJ5UZDuKCOqbHXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"& client_secret="11805XXXXXXXXXX"&username="UserName"&password="Password-SecurityToken"&grant_type=password
when I used below, I see the error, why ???
Whats wrong I used with username and password ??
Why its saying invalid client id ?
Yes I tried with below as well
https://ap5.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token?client_id="3MVG9d8..z.hDcPJZPIzGJ5UZDuKCOqbH8CCGCPnmwQuRbwLZ_2f.thbqWMX82H7JRGx4 6VYyEkuwzQ9._ww5"&client_secret="1180508865211885204"&username="pXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.com"&password="AgXXXXXXXX"&grant_type=password
Here I put my actual username and password which I used to login into the Production salesforce org. Please guide.

Method 1
Did you add your username and password with a security token to the url variables that call for them? From your url it looks like you just have “Username” and “Password” where the variables should be.
