We received OAuth credentials Client ID / Secret and are trying to get the Access Token. I was told to call Authorize API to get the Authorization Code and when I tried calling GET API [Log in with Atlassian account](https://auth.atlassian.com/authorize) with necessary parameters. I am getting ‘JavaScript is disabled’ error. Please Advise. ---

Welcome to the Atlassian developer community @KrishnaswamyRamachan, I think you have confused the `/authorize` endpoint with a _REST API_. That’s not correct. According to the [Atlassian documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/oauth/getting-started/implementing-oauth-3lo/): > your app should start the authorization flow by directing the user to the authorization URL The first step in the OAuth2 flow is a redirect to a user-facing URL in the browser, not a GET request.
