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
Register Your Application
Go to /Documentation/en/Full/OAuth_Register to set up client credentials.Redirect Users to Authorization Endpoint
Use theauthorization_code
flow to initiate the process.Handle Redirect URI and Extract Token
Exchange the authorization code for an access token.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.
