### Bikeep API Access Methods

Source: https://docs.bikeep.com/index

Explains the different ways to access the Bikeep API: service-to-service authentication using OAuth2 client credentials, and external user authentication which requires integration with Bikeep user management.

```APIDOC
API Access Methods:

1. Service-to-service authentication:
   - Uses OAuth2 client credentials flow.
   - Limited functionality: no user uniqueness guarantee, no parking/rental session tracking, no statistics.
   - Primarily for controlling hardware without business logic.

2. External users authentication:
   - For partners wanting full functionality, including session tracking and statistics.
   - Requires providing endpoints for posting Bikeep user IDs and verifying internal user IDs.

3. Public access:
   - Permitted for the '/location/v1/public-areas/{public_area_id}/locations' endpoint.
   - Does not require OAuth authorization.

### OAuth2 Token Request using Basic Authentication

Source: https://docs.bikeep.com/index

Shows how to obtain an OAuth2 token by passing the client ID and client secret as a Basic Authentication header. This method is an alternative to sending credentials as form parameters.

```bash
curl --location --request POST 'https://auth-dev.bikeep.com/oauth2/token' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic INSERT_BASE64_HERE' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials'
```

### OAuth2 Token Request using Client Credentials

Source: https://docs.bikeep.com/index

Demonstrates how to obtain an OAuth2 token using the client ID and client secret via form-urlencoded parameters. This is part of the service-to-service authentication flow.

```bash
curl --location --request POST 'https://auth-dev.bikeep.com/oauth2/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=INSERT_ID_HERE' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=INSERT_SECRET_HERE'
```
