Hi Hari329

 

the "Authorization Grant" flow is interactive and therefore not suitable for a server to server integration. You could of corse log in manually with the "API user" via the browser and obtain an access and refresh token, and then use these directly, but I don't think this would be suitable for a back-end integration.

 

What I suggest for the time being is to see whether you can use rest V1 in that scenario, for the time being.

 

Thanks,
