Hi @selvi ,

Thank you for posting this query on Auth0 Community!

[This](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/native/device/01-login#device-code-parameters) article explained the scopes in the authorization flow.

```auto
–data scope=openid

```

To get the refresh token, please set scope=offline\_access and enable the **Allow Offline Access** field in the [API Settings](https://manage.auth0.com/?_gl=1*1t4hnb2*rollup_ga*MjA5MTA5MTk2MC4xNjQ4NzQwNzU4*rollup_ga_F1G3E656YZ*MTY1MDU1NTQxNi42OS4xLjE2NTA1NTYwMTcuNTc.&_ga=2.113193345.483232687.1650296876-2091091960.1648740758#/apis).

Hope this helps!

This command works fine after adding the scope offline\_access curl --request POST   
-curl --request POST   
–url ‘[https://domain/oauth/device/code](https://domain/oauth/device/code)’   
–header ‘content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded’   
–data ‘client\_id=xsHDHSBD’   
–data scope=openid%20offline\_access   
–data audience=[https://domain/api/v2/](https://domain/api/v2/)
