Authentication
X-Auth-Clientstring
The client ID of the franchise API account.
OR
X-Auth-Tokenstring
An OAuth token generated from the franchise API account.
To authenticate, generate an **OAuth Token** (if you donʼt have one or itʼs expired):
```http
POST https://api.bigcommerce.com/franchises/{franchise_uuid}/v1/oauth/token
Accept: application/json
X-Auth-Client: {client_id}
X-Auth-Secret: {client_secret}
{
"duration": 900
}
```
Response:
```json
{
"access_token": "dlkJcn34...Lkd012",
"expires_at": "2018-04-24T16:15:26.509045122Z”
}
```
After you generate an **OAuth token**, use the `client_id` and `oauth_token` to authenticate all other API requests:
```http
GET https://api.bigcommerce.com/franchises/{franchise_uuid}/v1/accounts/123
Accept: application/json
X-Auth-Client: {client_id}
X-Auth-Token: {oauth_token}
```
Response:
