Oauth application with response_type=code

harris-at-webase · November 16, 2020, 12:15am

I am working on an Oauth integration with Netlify. I have the application set up and am making a successful request to authorize my app in Netlfiy to this URL:

https://app.netlify.com/authorize?client_id=ABC123&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http://localhost:3000/auth/callback/netlify

After I get the code value it is not clear to me what URL I make the 2nd call to in order to get the access token.

I haven’t seen any examples that use this flow but this seems like the more standard Oauth flow (platforms like Stripe or Github have another endpoint like token or access_token). Does Netlify have something similar?

How do a get an access token after I get the Oauth code?

Thank you for any insight here!

It wasn’t easy to find but I did find my answer:

https://api.netlify.com/oauth/token

Is the URL to get the actual token. It would be very helpful to have this in the Netlify documentation.

For the curious, I found this information digging through the examples. Here is the salient link:

github.com

netlify-labs/oauth-example/blob/master/functions/utils/auth.js

const simpleOauth = require('simple-oauth2')

const SITE_URL = process.env.URL || 'http://localhost:3000'

/* Auth values */
const TOKEN_HOST = 'https://api.netlify.com'
const TOKEN_URL =  'https://api.netlify.com/oauth/token'
const USER_PROFILE_URL = 'https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/user'
const AUTHORIZATION_URL = 'https://app.netlify.com/authorize'
const REDIRECT_URL = `${SITE_URL}/.netlify/functions/auth-callback`

/* Env key name */
const clientIdKey = 'NETLIFY_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID'
const clientSecretKey = 'NETLIFY_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET'

const config = {
  /* values set in terminal session or in netlify environment variables */
  clientId: process.env[clientIdKey],
  clientSecret: process.env[clientSecretKey],
  /* OAuth API endpoints */

One thing I did learn from this search is how to correctly pronounce “Netlify”!

Looking forward to finishing up my Netlify integration with Webase!
