Authenticate OAuth

Description

Gets an OAuth 2.0 authentication token from an OAuth provider to be used to authenticate an HTTP Request or a Socket Connection. This is often used to authenticate Web API's. This behavior also securely saves your authenticated token to file which you can obtain using the Get OAuth Credentials behavior.

Properties

Triggers on Completion

URL	The base url of the OAuth provider. Eg. https://account.google.com
Endpoint	The OAuth endpoint. Eg. /o/oauth2/v2/auth resulting in a final URL like: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth/v2/auth
Client ID	The client ID given by the OAuth provider.
Client Secret	The secret key given by the OAuth provider.
Identifier	Use this identifier to use with the Get OAuth Credentials behaviour after a successful authorization. This way you don't have to keep authenticating with the server every time you make a request. The credentials are securely stored for offline usage, so you can keep using the same identifier even after you quit the project and come back.
Grant Type	The different OAuth authorization grant types. Available options are clientCredentials, password, authorizationCode, or refreshToken. Your OAuth provider should give you high level instructions of which grant type you need when.
Scope(clientCredentials, password, authorizationCode, refreshToken)	Comma separated list of permissions you are allowed to use.

Outputs

Token Type	Outputs the type of token being accessed (this is known as 'the bearer').
Access Token	Outputs the authorization token to gain access from a server.
Refresh Token	Outputs a new access token for when the previous one expires.
Error	Outputs any errors that occur during authentication.
