How can you get a non expiring API key? #138

I'm confused how the authentication for SignNow API works. Why does it seem to need a human's username and password? If I embed those in my web application and then change my password, the app will break.

What is the intended workflow so that you can use the API indefinitely without human intervention? I was expecting it to use just a Bearer token or API key but it seems this can only be used to request a token from a real person's account.

I don't think you can use Basic auth to actually upload documents (etc)?

Thanks! Nick
