You need to replace the clientId and clientSecret values below in the getToken() function with the values provided by Professional Services.

This is not meant to be used as is, but is just an example including how you might cache the token and retry on token expiry etc.

function clearToken() {
    sessionStorage.removeItem('api_type_ebf530f9-083c-43a1-bf93-cd47a853495b');
    sessionStorage.removeItem('api_token_ebf530f9-083c-43a1-bf93-cd47a853495b');
}

function getToken() {
    // Use Cached authorization token information if available
    //

    var type = sessionStorage.getItem('api_type_ebf530f9-083c-43a1-bf93-cd47a853495b');
    var token = sessionStorage.getItem('api_token_ebf530f9-083c-43a1-bf93-cd47a853495b');

    var result = $.Deferred();

    if (type != null && token != null) {
        result.resolve({

            token: token

        return result.promise();
    }

// TODO replace these values with your clientId and client secret values
    var clientId = '<replace>';
    var clientSecret = '<replace>';

    var auth = btoa(clientId + ":" + clientSecret);

    // Get and Cache new authorization token.
    //
