API Key Access
Persistent API Key access without refresh requirements
If you develop a server-side application like a Property Management System (PMS) or Revenue Management (RMS) or similar.
You will need to use the API key method instead of user credentials
In the future logging in with user credentials will trigger 2-factor authentication which will break your integration.
