  2. You will receive a password-generating link in your provided email.
  3. You should use the email and password or client-id and client-secret to generate an access token using the /get-access-token

Integration​

When you have successfully completed the registration process, gaining access to the liveness-based service requires hitting the route /get-access-token.Provide your valid client credentials to obtain a token for authorization in return.

Your credentials are crucial and carry many privileges; you surely don't want to encounter trouble, so be sure to keep your personal and sensitive information guarded! It is highly recommended not to share your credentials in public places such as GitHub or client-side code.
