Authentication

The project44 API offers authentication and authorization for client applications and integrations through the OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant type over HTTPS.

OAuth 2.0 is the industry-standard protocol for authorizing applications to access APIs on the web. The client credentials grant type is

• the simplest of several OAuth 2.0 authorization grant types
• is used to authorize client applications to access data in your project44 account without the context of an end user.

All requests to project44 must be authenticated and authorized to perform specific actions. Prior to following the other steps in this guide, please ensure that your client application is appropriately authenticated and authorized to fulfil the request.

View the Authentication guide for instructions on:

• Create a client application
• Add the appropriate roles to the client application
• Add the client application to the appropriate access groups
• Generate a token
• Use token in API request
• Manage your client application
