Currently, the documentation provides instructions on how to build a bearer token provider, which assumes that tokens are short-lived and must be refreshed after some time. However, some REST APIs offer a bearer token authentication mechanism that relies on the API key/secret instead of short-lived tokens. Since this is a somewhat common use case, I feel like it makes sense to have this implementation offered out of the box.

Currently, the documentation provides instructions on how to build a bearer token provider, which assumes that tokens are short-lived and must be refreshed after some time. However, some REST APIs offer a bearer token authentication mechanism that relies on the API key/secret instead of short-lived tokens. Since this is a somewhat common use case, and given that we also have an existing implementation for basic auth, I feel like it makes sense to have this implementation offered out of the box too.
