API calls towards VMware Cloud are typically done using refresh tokens. Most examples you can find about the VMC API are around refresh tokens. These are personally bound to a VMC user. Which makes sense, you are doing something (creating an SDDC, or getting info, etc.). But, what if you’re building a service against VMware Cloud and need all API calls not to be bound to an individual? That’s where OAuth apps come in.
I wanted to document my tinkering to get an OAuth app to work and retrieving information around SDDCs, using that way of authentication.
