# Access Token

> Exchange credentials for a JWT access token.

Accepts either:
- client_id + secret (classic API token flow)
- project_key: a Streamkap Project Key credential file (raw JSON or base64-encoded)

For project_key input, the backend extracts api.client_id and api.client_secret from
the bundle and performs the normal Frontegg token exchange. Kafka-only Project Keys
(no API credentials) cannot be exchanged for a JWT.
