  description: 'Apps authenticate with a self-signed JWT (signed with the application''s
    RSA private key registered with Poynt) which is POSTed to the token endpoint and
    exchanged for a short-lived OAuth 2.0 access token. The access token is then sent
    as an Authorization: Bearer <access-token> header on every API request, alongside
    an Api-Version header.'

notes: 'Poynt uses application-level authorization (an app is granted access to a
  merchant business at onboarding) rather than fine-grained OAuth scopes, so there
  is no published OAuth scope reference.'
