OAuth Apps is a way for third-party applications to access Confidence on behalf of a user. With an OAuth App, you can, for example, develop your own application that accesses Confidence.

​
Create an OAuth App

To create an OAuth App, pass a name, description, and callback URLs. 
curl -X POST "https://api.confidence.dev/v1/oauthApps" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "displayName": "My OAuth App",
    "description": "Test app",
    "logoUri": "https://confidence.spotify.com/logo.png",
    "allowedCallbackUrls": [
      "https://confidence.spotify.com"
    ],
    "allowedLogoutUrls": [
      "https://confidence.spotify.com"
    ],
    "allowedWebOrigins": [
      "https://confidence.spotify.com",
      "http://localhost:3000"
    ]
  }'
Response: 
{
  "name": "oauthApps/vkq6qw3qp6nbefxgbkr0",
  "displayName": "My OAuth App",
  "clientId": "vrBQfwAz8qesNWE84BAImPzCnkAhql7u",
  "clientSecret": "PWySgGDYi5gnxCRTNEI29UFalrlF_m2fhZOiiEw_YFVeCxoPHeQlE5m4kid-WtNB",
  "description": "Test app",
  "logoUri": "https://confidence.spotify.com/logo.png",
  "allowedCallbackUrls": [
    "https://confidence.spotify.com"
  ],
  "allowedLogoutUrls": [
    "https://confidence.spotify.com"
  ],
  "allowedWebOrigins": [
    "https://confidence.spotify.com",
    "http://localhost:3000"
  ],
  "createdBy": "users/xa8cecs2cc9xsz8jvgmc",
  "updatedBy": "users/xa8cecs2cc9xsz8jvgmc",
  "labels": {},
  "createTime": "2023-08-31T11:25:11.536748Z",
  "updateTime": "2023-08-31T11:25:11.536748Z"
}
After you’ve created the OAuth App, you receive a clientId and clientSecret that you can use to get an access token from the OAuth API at https://auth.confidence.dev/oauth/token. You may only use one of the following grant types: implicit, authorization_code, or refresh_token. For more information on grant types, see the Auth0 grant types guide. For details on obtaining access tokens, see the Auth0 access token guide.

​
Get an OAuth App

You can get an OAuth App by passing the name of the app to the following endpoint. 
curl -X GET "https://api.confidence.dev/v1/oauthApps/vkq6qw3qp6nbefxgbkr0" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
Response: 
{
  "name": "oauthApps/vkq6qw3qp6nbefxgbkr0",
  "displayName": "My OAuth App",
  "clientId": "vrBQfwAz8qesNWE84BAImPzCnkAhql7u",
  "clientSecret": "PWySgGDYi5gnxCRTNEI29UFalrlF_m2fhZOiiEw_YFVeCxoPHeQlE5m4kid-WtNB",
  "description": "Test app",
  "logoUri": "https://confidence.spotify.com/logo.png",
  "allowedCallbackUrls": [
    "https://confidence.spotify.com"
  ],
  "allowedLogoutUrls": [
    "https://confidence.spotify.com"
  ],
  "allowedWebOrigins": [
    "https://confidence.spotify.com",
    "http://localhost:3000"
  ],
  "createdBy": "users/xa8cecs2cc9xsz8jvgmc",
  "updatedBy": "users/xa8cecs2cc9xsz8jvgmc",
  "labels": {},
  "createTime": "2023-08-31T11:25:11.536748Z",
  "updateTime": "2023-08-31T11:25:11.536748Z"
}

​
Delete an OAuth App

You can delete an OAuth App by calling the delete endpoint. This does not revoke any already-issued access tokens. 
curl -X DELETE "https://api.confidence.dev/v1/oauthApps/vkq6qw3qp6nbefxgbkr0" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
