# Using Access Tokens to Send API Requests

You can use access tokens in a Bearer Token header of any REST API request. For example, with an access token with scope set to /subclient, you can retrieve the properties associated with a subclient.

## API Request to Retrieve Subclient Properties

### Syntax

    GET $[webservice]/Subclient/$[subclientId] HTTP/1.1
    Host: $[host name]
    Accept: application/xml
    Authorization: Bearer $[access token]

where <webservice> is the root path used to route the API requests to the Web Server.

For more information, see Available Web Services for REST API.
