{
    "client_id": "client_id_string",
    "client_secret": "client_secret_string",
    "grant_type": "client_credentials"
}
                    
The request to get a token (cURL):
curl -L -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
    -d \
'{
    "client_id": "client_id_string",
    "client_secret": "client_secret_string",
    "grant_type": "client_credentials"
}' \
'https://auth2.cityads.com/oauth/access_token'

    "token_type": "Bearer",

In case of user password changing all granted tokens will become invalid.
