2.1.7 Ways to Generate Access Token

An authenticated bearer token is required to invoke an API. The Authentication Process for token generation utilizes cURL Commands to generate the access token and invoke REST APIs.

The Authentication Token is generated through the OAuth Client ID and Secret Credentials. The Authentication Token does not require that you log in to the required Cloud Service to invoke the REST APIs from external applications.

Ensure that you have the appropriate log-in credentials to access the required Cloud Service and the appropriate roles to perform specific operations using the API Resources. Below is a list of authentication steps, with subsequent sections offering detailed information:

1. Create an Integrated (Confidential) Application.
2. Get the OAuth Client ID and Client Secret
3. Generate the access token

After generating an access token, proceed to invoking the APIs.
