Using HTTP Requests

Other than the current flow in the SDK, you can also request for OAuth Tokens using http requests directly to Cotter's server. 
You need to have either: 
​Cotter's Identity Token that you get from verifying user's email/phone number  OR
​Cotter's Event Token that you get from authenticating using Trusted Device, Biometric or Pin.
Getting Tokens using Identity Token
After successfully verifying user's email or phone number, you'll receive Cotter's Identity Token. Pass it to the body of the request under field identity_token
