# POST /api/v1/oauth2/partner/token

> Partner client-credentials token

- **Tag:** oauth
- **Operation ID:** `issue_partner_token`

## Description

Exchange a signed client assertion for a short-lived access token.

Every form field is optional at the HTTP layer so that a missing one is
answered in the OAuth error shape the partner's OAuth library expects,
not with the API's generic validation envelope.

## Authentication

Bearer token in `Authorization` header.
Required header: `x-business-id: <business uuid>`.
