Issue description

Documentation on Getting to Know Sharepoint API v1

Is littered with code and resources for requests like

GET https://{site_url}/_api/lists/getbytitle('{list_name}')/items
Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken
Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"

But I do not see a single piece of documentation on how to generate that access token.
