Pitchly's JavaScript SDK makes it easy to generate access tokens when accessing data on behalf of another organization, but when using the SDK isn't possible, you can still generate access tokens through direct HTTP requests instead.

Generating Access Tokens over HTTP

For certain applications, continual access to data is necessary, even when its users are offline or not logged into Pitchly. One example of this is Pitchly's own Forms app. Forms, for example, must have access to a database's fields even when all users are logged out of the Pitchly platform in order to continue serving forms to outside visitors. To make this possible, particular tokens can be used to generate new access tokens after old ones have expired, without the need for user involvement.
