Regarding access token generation using REST API

Question

We are using Azure subscription with the Standard Tier.

We have a requirement to use Cost Details API in our application. For that, we need to generate access token for Cost Details API authorization. Is there any REST API available to generate access token?

Hello @Test Admin Thank you for contacting us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

Regarding access token generation using REST API; the Generate cost detail report API uses AD auth token from the audience https://management.azure.comthis is same for calling any ARM APIs. It is not specific to Cost Management APIs. 

This doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/servicebus/get-azure-active-directory-token#use-postman-to-get-the-azure-ad-token has example of how to generate auth token for Azure AD.

Hope this helps. Feel free to reply if you have any questions!
