Is it okay to pass Bearer token through script despite it deals automatically in REST message??

[Community Alums]

I have opted OAuth authentication in Rest message whenever I am calling the rest message automatically validates token if it expired it gets new token if not it will use the existed token.

But third party asking me to send bearer token separately through body or header? Is that works? Is it best practice sending bearer token again whenever making rest call?

How to get this bearer token when I am using client ID credentials method?

@Community Alums  Here, is exact info

Actually easier is this :- 

var req = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
req.setEndPoint( < OAUTh end point URL >);
req.setHttpMethod('POST');
req.setRequestHeader('content-type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded') 
req.setRequestBody(grant_type=" + grant_type + "&username=" + username + "&password="+encodeURI(pwd)+ "&client_id="+client_id+"+ "&client_secret="+client_secret));
var response = req.ExecuteAsync();
response.WaitForResponse(10);
var responseBody = response.getBody();
var obj = JSON.parse(responseBody);
gs.info('Token : "+obj.access_token);

If you can't go about getting the refresh token use this, get an access token and pass this. This could be easier and precise now @Community Alums

@Community Alums 

did they share how the request body will look like for you to pass the access token in request body?

your 1st step will be to get the Access token using OAuth endpoint of Azure

once you get that token you can then include that in body as per the format they shared.
