These params need to be in the post body, not the url

grant_type=password&username=180244XXXXX&password=VeXXXXXX&extension=101"

Something like this in Node JS.

var basic = process.env.RC_CLIENT_ID + ":" + process.env.RC_CLIENT_SECRET;
var headers = {
            'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8',
            'Accept': 'application/json',
            'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from(basic).toString('base64')
            };
var body = querystring.stringify({
              'grant_type' : 'password',
              'username' : encodeURIComponent(process.env.RC_USERNAME),
              'password' : process.env.RC_PASSWORD
            });
