Answer 1

The following worked for me:

private string GetBearerToken()
{
    var client = new RestClient("http://localhost");
    client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator("admin", "22");
    var request = new RestRequest("api/users/login", Method.POST);
    request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/json");
    request.AddParameter("application/json", "{ \"grant_type\":\"client_credentials\" }", ParameterType.RequestBody);
    var responseJson = _client.Execute(request).Content;
    var token = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(responseJson)["access_token"].ToString();
    if(token.Length == 0)
    {
        throw new AuthenticationException("API authentication failed.");
    }
    return token;
}
