Please when using Postman, exercise caution when entering your client ID and client secret. Make sure to clear any sensitive information from the request history or environment variables in Postman after use. Additionally, consider using Postman's built-in authorization mechanisms, such as the "Basic Auth" feature, and securely manage your Postman environment settings to prevent accidental exposure of your credentials.

Please be cautious and ensure the confidentiality of your client ID and client secret. Treat these credentials as sensitive information and avoid sharing them publicly or storing them in insecure locations. If possible, consider using environment variables or secure storage mechanisms to store and retrieve these credentials securely.
