How to authenticate the app to the API.

The OAuth 2.0 standard supports two alternatives, and some APIs require that a specific option be used.

  • HTTP Basic Auth puts the credentials in HTTP Headers.
  • Parameters places credentials in the request’s POST parameters.
Scope
 list

Some APIs require that a scope be specified.

A scope consists of a list of strings. Each scope item represents a certain permission that the app is authorized to perform.

Consult the documentation of your API to determine if you need to supply scope items.
Save Tokens In
 string

Tweakstreet keeps authorized tokens in this file.

The path must be an absolute path to a local file.

Authorization Process

You must authorize your project by selecting “Authorize” from the context menu. The API will respond with an access token which Tweakstreet will pick up. The token is persisted in the configured file.
