  title: Equinix API Authentication use API
  description: 'Equinix APIs use the OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization. Equinix supports the resource owner password and the client credentials flow.

    To begin, obtain OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the Equinix Developer Console under "My Apps". Then your client application  requests an access token from the Equinix API Authorization endpoint, extracts the access_token from the response, and sends the Bearer token to the API that you want to access'
