Dynamics 365 Authorization returns 401: Unauthorized

I'm using the code below:

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string organizationUrl = "beehexa0.crm5.dynamics.com";
            string clientId = "965c544c-8c64-44f2-ac4f-ec51d3f09d06";
            string appKey = "...";
            string aadInstance = "login.microsoftonline.com";
            string tenantID = "ee7f9991-88f1-4e35-b2c1-18c4e51a4698";

            ClientCredential clientcred = new ClientCredential(clientId, appKey);
            AuthenticationContext authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(aadInstance + tenantID);
            var task = authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(organizationUrl, clientcred);
            task.Wait();
            AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = task.Result;
            var requestedToken = authenticationResult.AccessToken;
            
            using (var sdkService = new OrganizationWebProxyClient(GetServiceUrl(organizationUrl), false))
            {
                sdkService.HeaderToken = requestedToken;

                OrganizationRequest request = new OrganizationRequest()
                {
                    RequestName = "WhoAmI"
                };
                try
                {
                    WhoAmIResponse response = sdkService.Execute(request) as WhoAmIResponse;
                    Console.WriteLine(response.UserId);
                } catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.InnerException.ToString());
                }

                Console.ReadKey();
            }
        }

        static private Uri GetServiceUrl(string organizationUrl)
        {
            return new Uri(organizationUrl + @"/xrmservices/2011/organization.svc/web?SdkClientVersion=8.2");
        }
        
    }


And got Exception as below:

System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Bearer authorization_uri=login.windows.net/.../authorize, resource_id=beehexa0.crm5.dynamics.com'. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Why does the Authorization Header appears to be 'Bearer authorization_uri=login.windows.net/.../authorize, resource_id=beehexa0.crm5.dynamics.com' instead of some "Bearer <valid token>"? I debugged and looks like it can get the access_token successfully:

    Hi LeHuu,

    What do you want? I think you want to connect your crm with your console app. If yes than use below Blog:

    arunpotti.wordpress.com/.../connect-to-crm-online-or-on-premise-using-c

    If you have any queries do let me know.

    Thanks

    Regards,

    Looks like for querying data from CRM Online API, we need to use Azure Portal to create a Native App instead of WebAPI app and use UserPasswordCredentials instead of ClientCredentials
