Question

Which of the following are the parameters taken by Token APIs to generate tokens

Answer 1

You can obtain an access token by providing the resource owner's username and password as an authorization grant. It requires the base64 encoded string of the consumer-key:consumer-secret combination. You need to meet the following prerequisites before using the Token API to generate a token.

Prerequisites

A valid user account in the API Store. You can self sign up if it is enabled by an admin.

A valid consumer key and consumer secret pair. Initially, these keys must be generated through the API Store by clicking the Generate link on My Subscriptions page.

A running API Gateway instance (typically an API Manager instance should be running). For instructions on API Gateway, see Components.
