Refresh token

String

Specify the refresh token for the application, which you obtain when setting up the account for the endpoint.

To access the API beyond the lifetime of a single access token, your application can obtain a refresh token. The application stores the refresh token for future use and automatically refreshes the access token before it expires.

Default Value: N/A
Example: N/A

Access token expiration

Integer

Specify the expiry value for the access token. It represents the number of refresh tokens per user account per client.

If there is no date of expiration, -1 is the default value. In such cases, the access token is refreshed on a regular interval, for instance, every hour.

Default Value: N/A
Example-1

Header authenticated

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to enable the endpoint's bearer header authentication.

Default Value: Deselected
Example: N/A

OAuth2 Token*

String

Specify the endpoint to get the access token. 

Default Value: N/A

Grant Type

Dropdown list

Choose the grant type for authentication to the endpoint. Available options are:

  • authorization_code: This grant type is used to obtain access tokens and refresh tokens from the authorization server.

  • client_credentials: This grant type allows the client to use its own credentials, instead of impersonating a user to authenticate when calling another web service.

  • password: This grant type exchanges your credentials for an access token. It is one of the simplest OAuth2 grants and involves the traditional username and password login to obtain the user's credentials and makes a POST request to the server to exchange the password for an access token.

Default Value: authorization_code
Example: password
