How to Get API Access Token?

Use the following API call to get an access token.

curl -ksD - -o /dev/null -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '
{
  "auth": {
    "identity": {
      "methods": [
        "password"
      ],
      "password": {
        "user": {
          "name": "user_name",
          "domain": {
            "name": "domain_id"
          },
          "password": "user_password"
        }
      }
    },
    "scope": {
      "project": {
        "name": "project_id",
        "domain": {
          "name": "domain_id"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}' API_ACCESSPOINT_URL:5000/v3/auth/tokens

This will return the following output, from which you can find the Access token (X-Subject-Token):

HTTP/1.1 201 Created

X-Subject-Token: gAAAAABonNUp14A9***************************************

You can find parameters domain_id, project_id, user_password, user_name, API_ACCESSPOINT_URL from your control panel itself. Navigate to your public cloud hosting service information page.
