Domain: api, authentication

Research direction

Start by generating a client from the supplied OpenAPI YAML and inspect whether the generated client contains OAuth handling; compare this with the manually supplied token path using AuthenticatedClient. Done means the clientCredentials flow is handled by the generated client, or the supported behavior is clearly established.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Describe the bug
I am trying to generate a client for an API with an clientCredentials oauth flow, but the generated client doesn't seem to manage the authentication at all: Searching the client's folder for the keyword oauth yields no results.

I can make it work by generating a token myself and using it in AuthenticatedClient, but I would expect the generated client to be able to handle that.

Is openapi-python-client supposed to generate a client that handles a clientCredentials oauth flow ?
