Bearer access tokens and API credentials

To use any Vonage Contact Center API, users need a bearer access token. A bearer access token authenticates subsequent requests to VCC APIs. The APIs use the token to check that the user is authorized to make your specific request. To request a bearer access token, the user first needs API credentials. 

API credentials consist of:

  • Client ID. The client ID identifies who the user is, a bit like a user name.

  • Client secret. The client secret is a password that's generated by Vonage Contact Center.

When the user has API credentials, they can use the Authentication API to request a bearer access token.
