## What
This is to update incorrect documentation in regards to authentication to the Admin API - raised in https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/issues/6264.
## Why
Because the current documentation has been incorrect since the September 2023 release of [v1.17.0](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/releases/tag/v1.17.0), which had breaking changes to API token usage.
## How
Simple search and replace. I was asked to replace occurrences under `www/apps/docs/content/` but there were also additional places where I thought references should also be updated:
- `packages/medusa/src/api/`
- `www/apps/api-reference/`
Feel free to revert them as needed.
There is also some inconsistency between the format shown in examples e.g. `<API_TOKEN>` vs `{api_token}` vs `{access_token}`.
I have kept the format the same in all cases as the original, as surrounding documentation text would not have format updated as well. I suggest maybe reviewing the documentation and keeping to a consistent format e.g. `<API_TOKEN>`.
## Testing
I have not tested these changes. I would assume the `packages/medusa/src/api/` changes may need more thorough testing?
