Steps

  1. Generate a client_key and client_secret from the Lulu developer dashboard's API Keys page (use the sandbox dashboard for a sandbox key pair).
  2. Base64-encode "client_key:client_secret" and send it as an HTTP Basic Authorization header.
  3. POST to https://api.lulu.com/auth/realms/glasstree/protocol/openid-connect/token with body grant_type=client_credentials and Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
  4. Read the access_token field from the JSON response; note expires_in is typically 3600 seconds.
  5. Include the token on all subsequent API calls as an Authorization: Bearer {access_token} header, and re-request a new token before it expires.
