<table><thead><tr><th width="217.3333740234375">Authentication method</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>OAuth</td><td>Developers authenticate through their browser and sign in using their OX account. This is the recommended approach for most environments.</td></tr><tr><td>API token</td><td>Developers authenticate using a user-generated API token. This method is typically used when OAuth is unavailable or when manual authentication is preferred.</td></tr></tbody></table>
