    /api/1.0/api-key/token

    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.

    Notice

    Accessing the Policy Management APIs is through a dedicated domain/URL according to your PlainID Tenant Location:
    https://api.{REGION}.plainid.io

    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.).
