There are three ways to generate an access token.

• Web UI—Use the token page to enter your username (most likely your email address), upload your private key file, and generate a JWT token. See Set Up Authorization.

• Programmatically using your key—Load your private key, generate an assertion, and call the API to get an access token. You must monitor when the token expires and generate a new one.

• Programmatically using a refresh token—Load your private key, generate an assertion, and call the API to get a refresh token. Use that refresh token from then on call the API and generate an access token.
