OAuth is a protocol that allows users to authenticate and authorize access to resources without sharing their credentials. Here's a guide to implementing OAuth integration:

Key Concepts

  • Authorization Code Flow: The most common OAuth flow for web applications. 🔄
  • Token Exchange: After authorization, a token is issued to access protected resources. 🔐
  • Scopes: Define the level of access granted (e.g., read, write). 🎯

Implementation Steps

  1. Register Your Application
    Go to /Documentation/en/Full/OAuth_Register to set up client credentials.

    OAuth_Register

  2. Redirect Users to Authorization Endpoint
    Use the authorization_code flow to initiate the process.

    OAuth_Flow

  3. Handle Redirect URI and Extract Token
    Exchange the authorization code for an access token.

    Token_Exchange

  4. Use Token to Access Resources
    Include the token in requests to protected endpoints.

Common Issues

  • Token Expiry: Always refresh tokens before they expire. ⏳
  • Scope Mismatch: Ensure requested scopes align with the application's permissions.
  • Redirect URI Mismatch: The URI must match exactly with the one registered.
