Hi,  
I’m trying to build NUXT + Gravity form app.  
I tried to use [https://docs.gravityforms.com/rest-api-v2-authentication/#authentication-methods](https://docs.gravityforms.com/rest-api-v2-authentication/#authentication-methods) with cs\_ and ck\_ keys generated in Gravity form REST API → Authentication ( API version 2 )

But connection is failing to authorize.  
I tried the exact setup as in docs using Postman, also Axios setup with customer key and secret. Both failed.

But when I use **User name** instead of **ck\_…**  
and **User pass** instead of **cs\_** … it can get the data from the endpoint with no proble, even if I don’t set any keys in the settings. In both cases - Axios and Postman  
( I can’t add image to proof since I’m new user 😃 )

So my question is: How I can use the key and secret instead of user name and password since the example form doc does not work?  
I don’t want to use user as auth method.

Because I want to limit actions only to be able to send / get form.
