OAuth APIs

Some Social-ID NOW APIs require OAuth 2.0 authentication instead of HTTP Basic.

In order to access them one needs first to request an access token through the token endpoint. Each access token has its own scope and allows a certain set of APIs.

Please, refer to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749 if you are not familiar with the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
