Research direction
Start by inspecting the Python SDK's client and authentication entry points, then check the API Reference's Try it out examples for any existing token-initialization method. Done means a public, sanctioned way to supply an existing Bearer token is available or documented clearly enough for generated language samples to use it without a workaround.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The API Reference supports a "Try it out" feature which allows someone to copy-and-paste a code sample that just works. This system works well for cURL requests because the framework is able to insert the HTTP Bearer token directly into the "code sample." However, we cannot do that with any specific language because there is not a clear/obvious way to initialize the client/SDK with an already-existant token.
We need a simple and single API call for getting the Bearer token in this SDK. Something to the effect of:
sdk.platform().auth().setData(...)
If a capability like this already exists, then can we add that to the documentation?
Acceptance criteria includes the very subjective criteria of the solution not feeling like a "hack." It should not feel like the developer is going into set the value via a backdoor, but by setting it via a public and sanctioned manner.
