description: >-
  Conga's REST API requires an OAuth 2.0 bearer token. Machine-to-machine access
  uses the client_credentials grant with a client_id/client_secret issued to an
  Integration User or an API-to-API connection. The token is obtained from a
  region-specific Conga login endpoint and passed as an Authorization: Bearer
  header on subsequent API calls. When using the API-to-API flow, callers also
  send a `user-id` header carrying the platform user ID so the API can apply the
  correct permissions.
