Authentication

Learn how to authenticate requests to the ChatKitty Platform API.

Retrieve an OAuth 2.0 Bearer access token with the client credentials OAuth flow.

Retrieving a Bearer access token requires a ChatKitty application client ID and client secret.

You can create a ChatKitty application and receive client credentials using the ChatKitty dashboard.

ChatKitty expects a valid Bearer access token to be included in all API requests like this:

Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}

You must replace {{access_token}} with an access token gotten using your client credentials.

To authorize use this replacing acme with your client ID and acmesecret with your client secret:

curl --location --request POST 'https://authorization.chatkitty.com/oauth/token' \
--user 'acme:acmesecret' \
--form 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--form 'username=acme' \
--form 'password=acmesecret'

Returns a JSON response with the Bearer access token.

{
  "access_token": "d4327889-26a8-49ac-997c-56d8b1bcb09c",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "expires_in": 42892,
  "scope": "org:1:app"
}

access_token is the bearer access token. expires_in represents the access token's validity in seconds.
