If you have questions like this, I'd recommend asking them on https://salesforce.stackexchange.com. Please include all you've tried and the exact errors you are receiving.

Will this work with the OAuth 2.0?

Sure, just update your tenant URLs and the pattern for retrieving the token from the response.

Hi @wvpv,
thank you for the great code. Just a note, shouldn't the line 16 look like this?
statusCode = accessTokenResult["StatusCode"];

@hruskapetr yes, you're correct. Updated and thank you!
