Get Access Token (OAuth 2)

Retrieves an access token using an OAuth-2.0-compliant flow. Accepts form-encoded credentials using standard client_id and client_secret field names.

This method is specifically designed for OAuth 2.0 clients like Grafana that send credentials as form-encoded data. For JSON-based API calls, use Get Access Token.

The client ID and secret you provide when calling this method must be from a set of API credentials from your Eon account. To learn more about creating API credentials and completing the authentication flow, see Authentication.

The returned access token has the permissions included in the role you assigned to the API credentials. Always make sure the API credentials have the permissions needed for the API methods you want to use it for.

The access token is valid for 12 hours. After that, you must call this method again to get a new token.
