Create Board Access Token

POST 
/v1/:slug/access_tokens

Exchange your API token for a short-lived, read-only token limited to one board and its sub-boards. Call this from your own server and hand the result to code that runs in a browser, so your API token never leaves your server. The returned token can list and search that board through GET /boards, GET /boards/{token}, GET /boards/{token}/children, GET /boards/{token}/assets, GET /assets, GET /search and GET /ai_search; every other endpoint, and every write, answers 403 board_scoped_token. It expires after at most one hour and cannot create further tokens. Revoking your API token does not revoke tokens already created from it; they expire on their own. Each call counts as one API request and each token has its own rate limit, so reuse a token for a visitor's whole session rather than creating one per page view.
