            The [API
            token](https://docs.getunleash.io/concepts/api-tokens-and-client-keys)'s
            **type**. Unleash supports three different types of API tokens
            ([ADMIN](https://docs.getunleash.io/concepts/api-tokens-and-client-keys#admin-tokens),
            [CLIENT](https://docs.getunleash.io/concepts/api-tokens-and-client-keys#backend-tokens),
            [FRONTEND](https://docs.getunleash.io/concepts/api-tokens-and-client-keys#frontend-tokens)).
            They all have varying access, so when validating a token it's
            important to know what kind you're dealing with
        token:
