description: Pinch API authentication
schemes:
- type: oauth2
  name: OAuth 2.0 client credentials
  evidence: The Pinch API uses **OAuth 2.0 client credentials** for authentication. Every API request requires a Bearer token, which you obtain
    by exchanging your **Application ID** and **Secret Key**.
  flows:
  - client_credentials
  token_url: https://auth.getpinch.com.au/connect/token
  scopes:
  - api1
  how_to_obtain: Make a POST request to the token endpoint with your Application ID and Secret Key using HTTP Basic Auth or by including `client_id`
    and `client_secret` in the form‑encoded body.
- type: http-bearer
  name: Bearer token
  evidence: 'Include the token in the `Authorization` header of every API request:'
  location: header
  header: Authorization
  how_to_obtain: Obtain the token via the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow described above.
