Bearer tokens are a much simpler way of making API requests, since they don’t require cryptographic signing of each request. The trade off is that all API requests must be made over an HTTPS connection, since the request contains a plaintext token that could be used by anyone if it were intercepted.

Bearer authentication (also called token authentication) is an HTTP authentication scheme that involves security tokens called bearer tokens. The bearer token is a cryptic string, usually generated by the server in response to a login request. The client must send this token in the authorisation header when making requests to protected resources.
