[SalesForce] Authorization Error in Postman when connecting to Marketing Cloud

I am trying to get Authorization code from Postman by sending the Post request to " [https://auth.excattargetapis.com/v1/requestToken]".

In the Body of the Postman I have clientId and clientSecret but Authorisation comes with following error

"documentation": "https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.mc-apis.meta/mc-apis/error-handling.htm",
"errorcode": 0,
"message": "Bad Request"

A bad request usually means your call is malformed. I would recommend using this Postman library. It would store your credentials as environment variables and then you dont have to worry about handling the token call; it would be templated.

You will get a 400 error if you include a Content-Length header.

Another issue could be that you don't have an Event with the Event Definition Key Cub_Competition. Can you confirm that this is the actual Event Definition Key? Is this the key you created when creating the API Event? Also, please confirm that the name/value pairs in your Data object match the fields in your Event Source DE.

An example provided in the docs for adding content is below:

{
  "name": "NTO Welcome Series Email",
  "channels": {
    "email": true,
    "web": false
  },
  "views": {
    "html": {
      "content": "<!DOCTYPE html><body>This is a simple message.</body></html>"
    },
    "text": {},
    "subjectline": {},
    "preheader": {}
  },
  "assetType": {
    "name": "templatebasedemail",
    "id": 207
   }
}

You would set your new/updated html into the 'content' (views > html > content) section of the above JSON.
