Implicit token

An implicit token is typically used for situations where you are requesting data on the client side and you are exposing your public key. When authenticated implicitly, you can only fetch (GET) data with live status (products, categories, brands, etc).

The implicit token is most appropriate for use inside client-side applications, such as JavaScript.

warning

An implicit token can be thought of as a Read only token.
