Authentication Types

To get credentials to use for accessing the API, you need to configure authentication. Choose the authentication type that best matches your API's requirements:

• Client Credentials - The simplest authentication type for API keys, basic auth, or custom tokens
• OAuth2 - Standard protocol for third-party authorization without sharing credentials
• OAuth1 - Older authorization protocol with signature-based request authentication (rarely used)
• Proxy - Delegates authentication to another connector
• Membrane Token - Uses Membrane's token system

If not sure which one to pick, go with "Client Credentials" for simple API authentication or "OAuth2" for user-specific access.
