Use case: How to generate an API token and authenticate requests

Current solution	ComplyAdvantage Mesh
API keys are generated through the solution's UI and supplied as a query parameter or authorization header in the request. Keys do not expire, but rotation of keys is encouraged.	An API request /token with a set of credentials is needed to generate a bearer token. The token returned can then be used in the authorization header of subsequent requests. The token has a validity period of 24 hours.
