      There are two kinds of API Token:

      1. HMAC token

      HMAC is a specific type of message authentication involving a cryptographic hash function and a secret cryptographic key. It may be used to simultaneously verify both the data integrity and the authenticity of a message.

      2. OAuth token

      OAuth is a widely used security standard that enables secure access to protected resources.

      Each token's creation includes the scopes letting anyone can have access to this token.
