Section 1: Authentication

Requests with the ItemPath API require an access token in the header. Access tokens expire after 15 minutes, so a refresh token can be used to get a new access token. This is OAuth 2 standard.

Alternatively, an "Application" user type can generate an application token that does not expire, though this is less secure.

In this section, we'll walk you through logging in to the API to get these tokens and how to use them.
