Authorization

Authorization

The Trust2Connect API uses OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Grant as its authentication method. Every request to the API must include a valid access token obtained via this flow.

How Authorization Works

The authorization process consists of two main steps:

1. Obtain an Access Token:
   Your application requests an access token from the authorization server using its unique client credentials (Client ID and Client Secret).

2. Use the Access Token:
   Once obtained, include the access token in the Authorization header of every API request.
