Authentication

Contentstack OAuth access token oauth2 discovered Set up OAuth ↗

Create an app in the Developer Hub, configure Contentstack OAuth, and request the scopes needed by the target API. Contentstack issues access tokens for user apps and, for supported surfaces, app/M2M flows. Use the returned access token as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Machine-to-Machine app OAuth token oauth2_cc discovered Set up OAuth ↗

Ask Contentstack to enable Machine-to-Machine apps for your organization (the docs mark this feature Beta). Then create/configure the M2M app in Developer Hub and obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token with the required scopes for the API you want to call. See Machine to Machine Apps and Contentstack OAuth.

User authtoken api_key discovered

Authtokens are user session tokens returned by the Contentstack login API after signing in. The API docs say to use the Log in to your account request under Content Management API user session to retrieve it; browser sessions can also expose it in developer tools. See Content Management API, Administration API, and Analytics API.
