What are the necessary steps to authenticate and obtain an API access from N26 for PHP integration?

To authenticate and obtain an API access from N26 for PHP integration, you need to first register for an account on the N26 Developer Portal and generate API credentials. Then, you will need to use these credentials to make authenticated requests to the N26 API endpoints.

// Set up API credentials
$clientId = 'your_client_id';
$clientSecret = 'your_client_secret';

// Authenticate with N26 API
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.tech26.de/oauth/token');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'grant_type=client_credentials');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Authorization: Basic ' . base64_encode($clientId . ':' . $clientSecret),
    'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Parse the response and obtain access token
$data = json_decode($response, true);
$accessToken = $data['access_token'];

// Now you can use $accessToken to make authenticated requests to N26 API endpoints
