Based on the knowledge sources, here's how you can get an access token via API call when Airbyte is deployed on Kubernetes via Helm: ## Step 1: Create an Application First, you need to create an application to get your credentials: 1. Log into the Airbyte UI 2. Navigate to Settings → Account → Applications (or User Settings → Applications in newer versions) 3. Click "Create an application" 4. Name your application 5. Copy the generated

client_id

and

client_secret

Alternatively, if you need to retrieve existing credentials from your Kubernetes deployment, you can run:

kubectl get secret airbyte-auth-secrets -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE> -o yaml

The values will be base64 encoded, which you can decode using:

echo '<encoded-value>' | base64 -d

## Step 2: Obtain an Access Token via API Once you have your

client_id

and

client_secret

, make the following API request:

POST <YOUR_WEBAPP_URL>/api/v1/applications/token

Include this JSON body in your request:

json {   "client_id": "",   "client_secret": "" }

Replace

<YOUR_WEBAPP_URL>

with the URL you use to access the Airbyte UI. The API response will provide an

access_token

, which is a Bearer Token valid for 3 minutes. You can use this token to make requests to the Airbyte API. Important: Access tokens are short-lived (3 minutes), so it's recommended to fetch a new token before each request. The Terraform Provider/SDKs handle this automatically if you initialize them with the Client Credentials grant type using your

client_id

and

client_secret
