"""
This sample demonstrates a daemon application that acquires a token using a
client secret and then calls a web API with the token.
This sample loads its configuration from a .env file.
To make this sample work, you need to choose one of the following templates:
.env.sample.entra-id
.env.sample.external-id
.env.sample.external-id-with-custom-domain
Copy the chosen template to a new file named .env, and fill in the values.
You can then run this sample:
python name_of_this_script.py
