OAuth

OAuth tokens are used in API requests and allow to manage all other Core API objects for which the partner has the appropriate scopes set.

OAuth tokens with the token_type set to bearer are passed in request headers (e.g., -H 'Authorization: Bearer 5ebc03d6-8b2b-44ad-bf65-72d4f1491dda') and are used as credentials for the authentication with the API.

The partners with appropriate scopes can generate OAuth tokens both for themselves and for sub-partners, targeting the sub-partners by their secure IDs.
