OAuth 2.0

All API endpoints are authenticated using OAuth 2.0 standards. A client Id and client secret must be exchanged for a shortlived access token. This access token is then used to authenticate further requests.

Authenticate Requests with Token

The access token is passed into the authorization header as a bearer token
  curl --request GET \
    --url https://api.pipevest.com/v1/customers \
    --header 'Signature: ...' \
    --header 'Signature-Input: ...' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access-token>' \
    --header 'X-Client-Id: <client-id>' \

Scopes

Granular scopes are yet to be implemented. All tokens are scoped to have both READ and WRITE permissions
