Authentication

Apple Music developer token jwt discovered Get key ↗

Authorization: Bearer <credential>

Join the Apple Developer Program if needed, then in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles create a Media Services identifier and private key as directed by MusicKit and Generating Developer Tokens. Use that private key to sign your own JWT developer token, then send it as Authorization: Bearer <token> to Apple Music API.

Apple Music user token bearer Get token ↗

First obtain a developer token, then use MusicKit's user auth flow described in User Authentication for MusicKit. MusicKit prompts the person to sign in to Apple Music and authorize access; your app or website then receives a Music User Token to send in Music-User-Token for user-library and personalized endpoints.
