Moving from JSON Web Tokens to Client Credentials

Starting in April 2020, Yodlee began rolling out a new, simpler authorization method compliant with the OAuth 2 framework.  The new approach offers a Client Credential grant type, which we'll refer to as CC for short.  Previously Yodlee required a JSON Web Token (JWT) based approach, along with other legacy techniques.  Authorization with CC tokens is much simpler and quicker than using JWTs.  You don’t have to mint an authentication token using cryptography, as you do with JWTs.  You get a CC token by making an API call to request one.
