        OAuth2 is a standardized protocol for authorization that allows users to
        share their private resources stored on one site with another site
        without having to provide their credentials. OAuth2 Client Credentials
        Grant workflow. This workflow is typically used for server-to-server
        interactions that require authorization to access specific resources.
      flows:
        clientCredentials:
          tokenUrl: https://account.sendcloud.com/oauth2/token/
          scopes:
            api: Default OAuth scope required to access Sendcloud API.
