xMart4 access tokens can be generated to access marts either through using a WHO WIMS account or using pre-configured Azure client ID and secret. The package automatically manages the tokens behind the scenes for you, so unless you need to test multiple client access in a single R session, you do not need to manually create tokens. More detailed instructions can be found on the xmart4 package GitHub page.
