The documentation is surprisingly lacking, I thought we had instructions on getting access tokens. We'll get that fixed.

Adding a row to oauth_client_details is correct. Once you do, you should use HTTP Basic to request the access token from the /oauth/token endpoint. If the client ID is testClient and the client secret is testClientSecret, then Base64 encode testClient:testClientSecret and set it as an Authorization header, in this case with value Basic dGVzdENsaWVudDp0ZXN0Q2xpZW50U2VjcmV0. You can see examples in the Postman requests.
