To authenticate submit your user credentials, Client ID, and Client Secret for OAuth2 authentication. Refer to API Authentication for instructions on how to call OAuth API to validate and authenticate your credentials.

To safely validate this request in production without deleting any ports, see Testing in Production (API Dry Run).
