Client id and client secret are "properties" of the connected app. Thus, it's not possible to retrieve them or have them without creating a connected app.

You can authenticate without a connected app but it won't be a RESTful call. You'll have to use SOAP login(). It accepts username/password (which may require inclusion of a security token) and produces a session ID. You can then use this session ID as a bearer token to call REST or other APIs.

  • Could you please explain me how can I consume this SOAP directly from Postman?

    @pincet Grab a Partner WSDL and follow a Postman tutorial. Alternatively, you can try SoapUI
