OAuth 2.0 API Reference

OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service. It allows third-party clients to access user resources without exposing user credentials.

Overview

• OAuth 2.0 Scopes: Define the level of access that an application has to a user's resources.
• OAuth 2.0 Flows: Different methods for obtaining an access token, such as Authorization Code, Implicit, Resource Owner Password Credentials, and Client Credentials.

Key Concepts

• Client: The application that makes the request for an access token.
• Resource Owner: The end-user who authorizes the application to access their resources.
• Resource Server: The server that hosts the protected resources.
• Authorization Server: The server that authenticates the resource owner and issues access tokens.
