OAuth 2.0

Bracken uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol to authorise a user to be able to access Bracken data via the RESTful API.

The Bracken API follows the Client Credentials grant type to allow the client to obtain the access token without needing a user. The client is able to request an access token to access their own resources within the Bracken System.

The Bracken Development Team will give the client a domainkey,client_id and client_secret that is unique to their domain to be able to authenticate them when they contact the API. Although the client will most likely already have their domainkey.

Using this information the client is able to use OAuth 2.0 to request an access token to be able to use the API.
