How can I get an admin token in Magento 2 using the REST API?

To authenticate and obtain an admin token in Magento 2, send a POST request to the endpoint:

https://your-magento-site.com/rest/V1/integration/admin/token

Request payload:

{
  "username": "your_admin_username",
  "password": "your_admin_password"
}

If the credentials are valid, Magento returns a token like this:

"abcd1234abcd5678abcd90efgh"

✅ Use this token in your subsequent API requests by adding it to the Authorization header as:

Authorization: Bearer your_token_here

This ensures secure access to admin-level API operations. Make sure to handle the token securely and avoid exposing sensitive credentials.
