Before you use the Content Control API for the first time:
-
As a one-time operation, you must create an OAuth2 client application of any flow type, which results in a set of client credentials for that application.
-
You use these client credentials to obtain an access token using the configured flow. This token may be used to access Aura APIs until it expires, at which point a new token must be obtained.
For detailed information about obtaining a token, see the "Managing OAuth2 Applications" section in the latest version of the Aura LCDN/LMS Administration Guide on the Aura LCDN and LMS product page on Akamai Control Center.
