Enhanced Authentication
A reference of the endpoints available for Spectrum's authentication, which is based on the OAuth client credentials flow.
Upon a successful call, OAuth returns an access token to the user which can then be used as a bearer token authentication header in future calls to the Spectrum API. For more information, see OAuth documentation.
Note: In order to use enhanced authentication, the feature must be enabled in the
Data Exchange Installation
screen. See Enable Enhanced Authentication.
