200-901 Practice Question: A developer is using Cisco Webex Teams REST API

A developer is using Cisco Webex Teams REST API. Which two authentication methods are supported for bot accounts? (Choose two.)

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the distinction between authentication methods supported for bots versus user accounts, and the trap here is that candidates may confuse JWT (used for guest access) or API Key (common in other APIs) with the OAuth2 token-based methods actually required for bot accounts.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

OAuth2 with client credentials

OAuth2 with client credentials is the standard authentication flow for server-to-server communication, allowing a bot to authenticate without user interaction. Option B is correct because a Bearer Token, typically obtained via OAuth2, is used in the Authorization header of API requests to authenticate bot accounts in Cisco Webex Teams.
