Obtain a JSON Web Token (JWT) for your API user

• Use Authorization header "Basic Auth"
• The credentials format has to be base64 encoded "username", "colon" and "password"
• Example:

WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create("/api/v1/authorizations/authorize");
req.Headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " + base64Encoded("username:password");

When you are authenticated, you will get a signed OAuth2 token, formatted as a JSON Web Token (JWT). This is your authorization key that you need in order to access any other endpoint at Banking Circle.

The access token is valid for 5 minutes and must be in the header of all subsequent calls to the API. Please note that we do not currently support refresh tokens.
