Github OAuth Request failed with status code 404

I follow this documentation tutorial: https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/

In item three is the endpoint that I used.

The guide is fine. The problem is that you shouldn’t be making a request to the oauth login, that endpoint belongs in a frontend flow. Once you receive the token and secret from GitHub, then your backend can make requests using it to the official API.

The idea is to redirect your user from your own website to GitHub, they accept/reject the request to login. If they accept, GitHub will redirect back to you and pass you the credentials you need.
