  description: |-
    The Contabo API requires a so called `access_token` which has to be provided in the HTTP request `Authorization` header. The special type is called `Bearer`.

    Thus the header would look like `Authorization: Bearer <access_token>`

    In order to get an `access_token` you need to invoke Contabo's OAuth2 provider with the credentials you get from the [Customer Control Panel](https://my.contabo.com).
