Explanation

Snowpipe REST API endpoints use key pair (key-based) authentication. Users must generate an RSA key pair, associate the public key with their Snowflake user account, and then use the private key to sign a JWT (JSON Web Token). That JWT is included in REST API requests to authenticate to Snowpipe. Username/password credentials, OAuth tokens, and SSO are not supported authentication mechanisms for the Snowpipe REST API.
