Grant Types

Grant Types allow to expose multiple ways for a client to receive an Access Token. Currently supported grant types:

1. Authorization Code: This grant type is used when the client wants to request access to protected resources on behalf of another user.
2. Implicit: This grant type is similar to the Authorization Code grant type. But it is optimized for public clients, such as those implemented in javascript or on mobile devices, where client credentials cannot be stored.
3. User Credentials: This grant type (a.k.a. Resource Owner Password Credentials) is used when the user has a trusted relationship with the client, and so can supply credentials directly.
4. Client Credentials: This grant type is used when the client is requesting access to protected resources under its control (i.e. there is no third party).
5. Refresh Token: This grant type is used to obtain additional access tokens in order to prolong the client’s authorization of a user’s resources.

Tutorials

This project aims to create an easy-t-understand and well-tested framework for creating APIs. On this page, we will explain the basics of using phpFox RESTful API such as sending and receiving data, serializing data in HTTP requests, and more.

Get Authorization Code

Call the authorize endpoint to get the code.

...

"access_token":"ACCESS_TOKEN","expires_in":86400,"token_type":"bearer","scope":"null":"REFRESH_TOKEN"

...

Get implicit

Setting the query string parameter response_type=token in the authorize endpoint.

example.com/restful_api/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=app.example.com/callback

...

app.example.com/callback#access_token=EACCESS_TOKEN&expires_in=86400&token_type=bearer

...

Get by User credentials

Send the user credentials directly to receive an access token

$ curl -u CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET example.com/restful_api/token -d 'grant_type=password&email=USER_EMAIL&password=USER_PASSWORD'

URI Parameters: email, password

...

Get by Client credentials

Example using HTTP Basic Authentication:

$ curl -u CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET example.com/restful_api/token -d 'grant_type=client_credentials'

Refresh token

A refresh token must be retrieved using the Authorization Code or User Credentials grant types. This refresh token can then be used to generate a new access token of equal or lesser scope.
