How to Authenticate using Client Credentials flow

In order to get an access token allowing you to use SCG API you need two values: a Client Id and a Client Secret. Both of them are provided by the Smart Cable Guard Team.

The following Powershell code can be used to obtain an Access Token:

$Uri = "https://portal-east1.scg.dnvgl.com/auth/realms/SCG/protocol/openid-connect/token" 
$Body = @{ 
    "grant_type" = "client_credentials" 
    "client_id" = "{Client Id}" 
    "client_secret" = "{Client Secret}" 
} 
$token = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Uri -Method Post -Body $Body -ContentType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Once obtained you pass it in your request in the form of a Bearer token, which means you add an Authorization header with the value "Bearer {token obtained}"

This Authorization header should be present in every call to the API.

The access token is valid for 30 minutes.
