  The Font Awesome GraphQL API is public by default — most schema fields require
  no authorization. Protected fields (account, Kits, Pro SVG data, entitlements)
  require a bearer access token. An account-generated API token is POSTed to the
  token endpoint, which returns a short-lived (3600s) JWT access token whose
  scopes are inherited from the API token.
