Introducing Sitecore XM (Cloud) Apps REST API

While XM Cloud Deploy APIs are useful to manage Deploy Apps related activities, Sitecore XM Cloud team has released a new set of APIs to manage XM Cloud Apps. This newly introduced APIs can help us to manage the XM Apps collections, sites, analytics, and languages. The online API console released by Sitecore works more like a postman (like in OrderCloud API console) and enables us to use the browser to send the request the environment. 

In order to use this API, JWT token needs to be created. In order to do that, we need to create the automation client in Deploy App and then /oauth/token endpoint is used to get the JWT token along with client id and client secret. Please note that to create client credentials in Deploy App, we need to have Organization Admin or Organization Owner access to Cloud Portal.
