With the upcoming announcement, I'm moving tools to OAUTH away from personal access tokens.

Much of the work is on a locally hosted server that will be talking to Airtable, so client-credentials-flow seems appropriate here for machine-to-machine interaction.

I have a secret and am following the recommended OAUTH examples. It seems that the documentation really outlines the user grant really well, but the client grant isnt described. For example, I won't have a auth code, PKCE, or challenge answer with my token request, will I? 

I'm hitting the service, but am getting 401-Unauthorized..

Now to my question:
Is there a specific OAUTH client-credentials definition I can use to make sure I'm sending all the required fields?
