Scope required: auth.create

This endpoint allows for the programmatic generation of an API access token for a given user. This access token can then be used with the Consumer API or the Loyalty API.

Programmatic generation of access tokens on behalf of users is designed to support integration partners using custom authentication mechanisms. This allows for generation of access tokens that can be used with either the consumer or loyalty APIs depending on the integration use-case. This enables integration partners to have complete flexibility in their management of user authentication - using Thanx Auth, a self-hosted authentication implementation, or a third-party authentication provider.
