Why Are Client Credentials Required?

Client Credentials are used for secure API authentication.

You will need:

• Client ID
• Client Secret

These credentials are required to:

1. Generate an Access Token using the Token API.
2. Use that Access Token to securely call:
   • Consent Request API
   • Consent Verify API
   • Other protected APIs

In short:

Client Credentials → Generate Access Token → Call Consent APIs

All Consent Manager APIs are protected and require a valid access token in the Authorization header.

⚠️ Important Security Note

The Client Secret is displayed only once at the time of creation and cannot be retrieved again.

• Copy it immediately.
• Store it securely in a secrets manager or vault.
• Do not expose it in frontend or mobile applications.
