   • In the Swagger UI, click on Authorize.

   • In the subsequent Available authorizations window, click select all.

   • Follow the instructions on the screen to sign in.

2. Get the necessary Client ID and Client Secret for your API requests.

   If you are not an Okta Third-party identity provider for user management and authorization. admin, ask your Okta admin for Client ID and Client Secret of the application Tricentis Cloud API.

   If you are an Okta admin, follow the steps below:

   • Go to https://<name of your cloud instance>-admin.oktapreview.com/.

   • In Okta, go to the Applications page as described in the Okta documentation.

   • Click on the Tricentis Cloud API application and copy Client ID and Client Secret.

3. Add the Client ID and Client Secret to your requests. You can use the same Client ID and Client Secret for all API requests.
