A network automation engineer is integrating a third-party monitoring tool with a REST API that uses OAuth 2.0 with the authorization code grant. The integration must run unattended and the tool cannot prompt a user for credentials. The engineer has registered the tool as a confidential client and obtained a client ID and client secret. Which OAuth 2.0 flow should the engineer use to obtain an access token?

Authorization code grant with a redirect URI

Resource owner password credentials grant
