Authentication and Access

1. Application registration

Register your new application at https://de.bitport.io/api/create-application

You can find list of your current applications at https://de.bitport.io/api/list-of-applications

2. Obtaining an access token (OAuth Token)

a) Redirect users who wish to authenticate to https://api.bitport.io/v2/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID

b) If a user accepts, he will be redirected back to https://YOUR_REDIRECT_URI/?code=GENERATED_CODE

c) In the next step, your server will make a POST request (with content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded) for: https://api.bitport.io/v2/oauth2/access-token with parameters client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET&grant_type=authorization_code&code=CODE_FROM_PREVIEW_STEP.

Response: {'access_token': ACCESS_TOKEN}

TIP: If you are building an application for a device where the user is usually not logged in to Bitport.io, please ask the user to visit http://bitport.io/get-access to obtain the code (USER_CODE), thanks to which you can get access_token. You will acquire the access token by sending POST request (with content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded) for:https://api.bitport.io/v2/oauth2/access-token with parameters client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET&grant_type=code&code=USER_CODE

3. Using API

Now, you can use Bitport API!
