Value

No return value. The access token is stored internally for future use.

Arguments

username

The username (optional, default is NULL). If not provided, the pop-up window is triggered.

password

The password (optional, default is NULL). If not provided, the pop-up window is triggered.

encoding

Specifies how the request body should be encoded: form (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), multipart (multipart/form-data), or json (application/json). Default is "json".
