Hello,
I am trying to get a bearer token to use the stas api. I have made this step successfully:
1. Registered my app
2. Retrieved the code with: https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=your_client_id&redirect_uri=your_url&response_type=code&blog=1234
3. But I am having troubles with the Server / Code Authentication. I am using this code:
```
$curl = curl_init( 'https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/token' );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(
    'client_id' => your_client_id,
    'redirect_uri' => your_redirect_url,
    'client_secret' => your_client_secret_key,
    'code' => $_GET['code'], // The code from the previous request
    'grant_type' => 'authorization_code'
) );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$auth = curl_exec( $curl );
$secret = json_decode($auth);
$access_key = $secret->access_token;
```
I have a doubt, where it says:”// The code from the previous request”, what should I replace? Should I replace the: “[‘code’]”? And with that should I replace it? With this whole thing “https://developer.wordpress.com/?code=cw9hk1xG9k” or just with: “cw9hk1xG9k”?

I have tried pasting that code in a php file, but when I run it on a php server it returns nothing, a blank html. I was expecting this:
```
{
    "access_token": "YOUR_API_TOKEN",
    "blog_id": "blog ID",
    "blog_url": "blog url",
    "token_type": "bearer"
}
```
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Daniel
