Generate Access Token

To invoke the system APIs such as for deploying, we need a valid access token issued by an identity provider (IdP). While APK supports third party IdPs such as Asgardeo and Auth0, it supports an inbuilt non-production identity provider as well, which is only meant for testing purposes. We are going to use the non-production inbuilt IdP for this guide.

Execute the following request to generate the access token. Use the base64 encoded value of the colon separated client Id and client secret (clientID:clientSecret) provided in the table below in the Authorization header of the request. We will be using the client credentials grant type to generate the token.

Field	Value
Client ID	45f1c5c8-a92e-11ed-afa1-0242ac120002
Client Secret	4fbd62ec-a92e-11ed-afa1-0242ac120002
