# Authentication API

This page shows the process for creating an access token.

1. When onboarding with Alluvial, you will receive API credentials. These include a client\_id and client\_secret.
2. After receiving your credentials use the curl request below, updating the client\_id and client\_secret with your specific credentials.

## Staging

curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://auth.staging.alluvial.finance/oauth/token' \
