Overview of OAuth 2.0 Workflow for Private Clients

1. Make a POST request to https://auth.sageworks.com/connect/token with client_id, client_secret, and grant_type specified in the body
2. Get the Bearer Token (access_token) from the response to your POST request
3. If leveraging Postman, use x-www-form-urlencoded option
4. Use the Bearer Token in your API request, which will return a JSON response if successful

Note: each environment has its own specific authentication URL:

Production = https://auth.sageworks.com/connect/token
UAT = https://uatauth.sageworks.com/connect/token
Sandbox = https://sandboxauth.sageworks.com/connect/token
