This API enables users to get an Access Token for API Client Credentials associated with a particular Client. PlainID uses the API Client Credentials to support secure access to Management using an OAuth Client Credential flow.

United States (US) - https://api.us1.plainid.io
Canada (US) - https://api.ca1.plainid.io
Europe (US) - https://api.eu1.plainid.io

Replace{REGION} with your PlainID Tenant region (e.g. us1, eu1, ca1, etc.).
