OAuth2 API Documentation

OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service.

Overview

• Authorization Code Flow: This flow is recommended for web applications. It involves the client obtaining an authorization code from the authorization server, which is then exchanged for an access token.
• Implicit Grant Flow: This flow is intended for simple cases where the client is a web application and the resource owner is the same as the end-user.
• Resource Owner Password Credentials Flow: This flow is used when the client has the resource owner's credentials (username and password).
• Client Credentials Flow: This flow is used for machine-to-machine interactions.

Endpoints

• Authorization Endpoint: /Documentation/en/Full/API/OAuth2/Authorization

  • This endpoint is used to initiate the authorization process.

• Token Endpoint: /Documentation/en/Full/API/OAuth2/Token

  • This endpoint is used to exchange the authorization code for an access token.

Usage

To use these endpoints, you need to follow the OAuth 2.0 protocol. Here is a simple example of how to use the authorization endpoint:

curl -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI&scope=read" "https://example.com/Documentation/en/Full/API/OAuth2/Authorization"

For more detailed information, please refer to the OAuth 2.0 specification.

Security

When using OAuth 2.0, it is important to ensure the security of your application. Here are some best practices:

• Use HTTPS to protect the data transmitted between the client and the server.
• Store your client credentials securely.
• Implement proper error handling to avoid exposing sensitive information.
