Get OAuth 2.0 Access Token and Refresh Tokens

POST https://api.rhythm.cloud/api/public/oauth/token

Use the code you get after a user authorizes your app to get an access token and refresh token.  The access token will be used to authenticate requests that your app makes.  Access tokens expire after 6 hours, so you can use the refresh token to get a new access token when the first access token expires.
