Generate Bearer access token
Generates a Bearer access token using the OAuth 2.0 client credentials
flow. Send your Client ID and Client Secret as HTTP Basic authentication
and grant_type=client_credentials as a form-encoded body.
The token is valid for 1 hour (expires_in: 3600). Requesting a new
token does not invalidate previously issued tokens — multiple tokens can
be valid at the same time, so you can rotate without downtime.
Get your Client ID and Client Secret from Integrations > API in your account. If no credentials exist yet, select Request Credentials.
Unlike every other endpoint, the response body of this endpoint does not
contain an api_response field.
