Generate Access Tokens for the REST API and CLI

You need an access token to create an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance using the command line interface (CLI) or REST API. This section describes how to set up a confidential application to generate the required access tokens, and how to specify the tokens in CLI and REST API payloads.

Note:

The instructions are different for identity domains and Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Follow the correct instructions for your tenancy. If you're not sure, see How can I find information about the identity provider my Oracle Analytics Cloud uses?
