Create a third-party user token

This endpoint is used to create a third-party user token. This token can be shared with and used by a specified third-party client to access data associated with the user through supported endpoints.

Ensure you store the third_party_user_token along with the user_token and third_party_client_id, as it is not possible to retrieve a previously created third_party_user_token.
