You can use client credentials to programmatically access resources instead of using your username and password. You can generate multiple client credentials for different applications or use cases rather than a single set of user credentials for everything.
When you create client credentials, a public key and a private key is generated. These keys act as the username and password for programmatic client applications. It is important that you save these keys in a safe place. You can also delete these client credentials when the client applications no longer need access to Timescale resources. For more information about obtaining an access token programmatically, see the Timescale Terraform provider documentation.
