      Token retrieval requires a basic POST request to our OAuth 2.0 based authentication server.
      Mitek recommends that developers pro-actively refresh tokens to ensure a valid token is always available for submission to the API.
      
      In the authentication request, scopes must be included that the token will provide permissions to access.
      The token generated will only provide access to the specific operations for which the scope was requested.
      Mitek recommends that the token is requested with only the scopes that are minimally required to perform a specific operation.
