Comment: ✉️ Update Client_Credential Grant Doc to Include Instructions on setting Custom Validity Period for Tokens

...

Tip

Tip: We use the Client Credentials grant type to regenerate access tokens for an application through the API Store. Therefore, you should enable this grant type to the application. To do that, go to the API Store, click the application name from under the APPLICATIONS menu, click the Production Keys tab, and select the Client Credentials check box under Grant Types.

Info
titleSetting a custom validity time for access tokens

You can set a validity period for access tokens through a cURL command. Pass the validity_period parameter as shown in the example below.

Code Block
curl -X POST -k -H "Authorization: Basic <Base64(clientId:clientSecret)>" -d "grant_type=client_credentials&validity_period=<custom_validity_time_in_seconds>" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" https://localhost:8243/token -v
Note

Note that for users to be counted in the Registered Users for Application statistics which takes the number of users shared each of the Application, they should have to generate access tokens using Password Grant type.
