        :::highlight purple 📌

        To obtain an authentication token, send a POST request to our OAuth
        endpoint. This request authenticates your credentials and returns an
        access token, which you will use to authorize all subsequent API calls.

        :::


        <TipInfo>Make sure your credentials are properly encoded and transmitted
        securely</TipInfo>

        <TipInfo>Encryption and decryption are not required when using the Get
        Authentication API</TipInfo>
