Description

The getting started guide references API v1 endpoints that have been deprecated. New users are hitting 404s on their first try.

Specifically:
- The auth example uses the old token format
- The webhook setup section references a removed endpoint

Would be happy to submit a docs PR with updated examples.

Jira issue: CRDB-67720

Research direction

Start by locating the getting started guide and reviewing the auth example and webhook setup section named in the issue. Compare both examples with the current API behavior, then update the token format and endpoint reference so new users no longer encounter the reported 404s.
