Documentation says that for OAuth2 token authorization URL like login.salesforce.com should be used

For authorization: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize
For token requests: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
For revoking OAuth tokens: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/revoke

However, documentation doesn't tell anything about which other URL could be used for sandboxes and if lightning domain URL can be used for this?

For example, when I try to connect to https://domain--full.lightning.force.com/services/oauth2/token I receive unsupported_grant_type error response

    "it is now clear"? That sounds like a typo. – sfdcfox Jun 27 '19 at 14:32

For sandboxes two URL types can be used:

  1. Generic URL like https://test.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
  2. Specific Classic Domain URL like https://domain--full.cs100.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token

Lightning domain URL cannot be used.

Classic domain URL changes every refresh since Sandbox might migrate to another instance, so it is better to use always Generic URL

  • For MyDomain, I think it depends on the sequence of when mydomain was established; if you applied my domain to an existing sandbox, then the URL looks like https://domain--full.cs100.my.salesforce.com; if the sandbox came from PROD, then it would be https://domain--featureBox.my.salesforce.com (no ref to a pod) – cropredy Jun 28 '19 at 1:27
  • I have refreshed sandbox from production, and it has the instance name in the classic URL – Patlatus Jul 1 '19 at 8:18
  • What do you get if you create a new sandbox from Prod? – cropredy Jul 1 '19 at 13:39

https://test.salesforce.com/... is the right way to go for sandboxes.

From the doc

Instead of login.salesforce.com, customers can also use the My Domain, community, or test.salesforce.com (sandbox) domains in these endpoints.

(Admittedly, it's a very brief doc note)
