Logging in via an API

[p.christodoulou2]

Hi,

Using Python is there any way of logging in as a user with an API rather than physically typing in your username and password? i.e. I want an API that lets me provide {username, password, any other details} and gives me back an access token

Hi @p.christodoulou2,

You can use the resource owner password grant get a token directly with a API call containing a username/password.

If you are setting up a machine to machine connection without a user then you should use the client credentials grant.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Dan
