Use this endpoint to generate an access token to interact securely with Protect Platform services, which require an external authentication service that issues an access token upon successful validation of an API Key.

Send credentials via Basic Auth ("Authorization: Basic ...") together with "x-API-key". After you send a POST request to the authentication service with the required credentials, the service returns a Bearer token, which must be included in the Authorization header of all subsequent API requests to ensure secure access. If your access token expires, you must re-authenticate using this endpoint to obtain a new token. Include the accessToken in the Authorization header of every API request for authentication and authorization.
