Steps
Send POST /rest/<version>/oauth2/token with grant_type=password plus client_id, client_secret, username, password, and platform in the body.
Read access_token and token_type ("bearer") from the response to use in the Authorization header of subsequent REST calls.
Note the response also returns expires_in (3600 seconds) for the access token.
Store the refresh_token and its refresh_expires_in (1209600 seconds) value to renew access without resending the password.
Use grant_type=refresh_token with the stored refresh_token to obtain a new access_token once the original expires.
Known gotchas
All of grant_type, client_id, client_secret, username, password, and platform are required together for the password grant; omitting platform is a common cause of failures.
Access tokens expire after 3600 seconds (1 hour) and should be renewed via the refresh_token grant rather than re-authenticating with a password each time.
