What Is Bearer Authorization

Bearer authentication (also called token authentication) is an HTTP authentication scheme that involves security tokens called bearer tokens. … The client must send this token in the Authorization header when making requests to protected resources: Authorization: Bearer <token>

The tradeoff is that all API requests must be made over an HTTPS connection, since the request contains a plaintext token that could be used by anyone if it were intercepted.
