Access Token

[SravanMaru]

Hey Team,
I want to use Canvas APIs with an Access token(without manually generating it). Do I have to use the OAuth2 flow described in the OAuth Documentation .

Or is there another way? Thanks in Advance.

Yes, you will need to use OAuth, unless if you are writing some JavaScript to enhance the Canvas Theme, in which case you will have access to the users browser cookies that will be sent along with requests and will authenticate the user.
