The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:

            .level(Level.DEBUG)
            .requestConfig(logConfigBuilder -> logConfigBuilder.body(true))
            .responseConfig(logConfigBuilder -> logConfigBuilder.headers(true)))
    .httpClientConfig(configBuilder -> configBuilder
            .timeout(0))
    .clientCredentialsAuth(new ClientCredentialsAuthModel.Builder(
            "OAuthClientId",
            "OAuthClientSecret"
        )
