Generating access token for NFL api

NFL has an api service. link: https://api.nfl.com/docs/getting-started/index.html



For making api calls we need an Oauth2 access token.



To generate it we need to hit /oauth/token endpoint with parameters client_id and client_secret in body.Now I cannot find any documentation on how to generate the client_id and client_secret.



Another way I found was to create a new user which just requires you to pass necessary parameters like username,password,etc and in turn gives a new access token.But doing this way also gives a unauthorized 401.



So I am doing it wrong.If someone has used this api in past , please do share how you did it.I also found another question here on the same topic link : How would I create an access token for the NFL Shield API? but it does not have any answer.I am sharing the links to two docs related to authentication.
