Client authorization

Using the App services API, you can authorize a client.

Authorizing a client

Use the GET method to authorize a client.

Request URI

Parameters

Parameter	Description
string response_type	The OAuth 2.0 response type.
string client_id	Organization client ID

curl -X GET "https://api.usergrid.com/management/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=b0U5N81ME96NSeG78xIxQFxelQ"

It is recommended that you use the Admin Portal for administrative activities instead of using JavaScript to do them programmatically in your app.

Note:You can see the response below in the Admin Portal by using the JavaScript Console.

The example assumes use of the Ruby SDK.

mgmt = Usergrid::Management.new 'https://api.usergrid.com/'
mgmt['authorize'].get params: { response_type: 'token', client_id: 'b0U5N81ME96NSeG78xIxQFxelQ'}

The example assumes use of the Node.js module.

var options = {
    method:'GET',
    endpoint:'management/authorize',
    qs:{response_type:'token', client_id:'b0U5N81ME96NSeG78xIxQFxelQ'}
};
client.request(options, function (err, data) {
    if (err) {
        //error — GET failed
    } else {
        //success — data will contain raw results from API call       
    }
});
