The API version 2 implements the OAuth2 authorization framework, enabling secure authentication and authorization to access its resources. This flow has been developed specifically for the Make Academy Custom Apps Development course, aiming to simulate a real-world authentication and authorization process.
Every developer can integrate Custom App Academy API V2 by obtaining up to one app access that involves registration of their application and obtaining client credentials.
To obtain the necessary client credentials (client ID and secret), you can submit the . If you have previously submitted the form for API version 1, you should already have received the credentials to API version 2 via email.
Each app user (John Doe/Jane Black) can have only one active connection. If you generate a new connection, the existing one will be removed.
Redirect the user to authorize endpoint. This will prompt the user to allow your application to access the Custom App Academy API on their behalf. You need the user to allow the connect scope to successfully authorize access. To obtain the code parameter to authorize token request, set the response_type to code.
Once a user decides to allow or disallow your application access to their account, Custom App Academy will redirect them to the OAuth2 redirect URL that you set when submitting your form.
If there was an error processing the request, the response will contain an error.message parameter. If the request was successful, the response will contain code parameter.
Use your application client_id and client_secret together with code from the previous step to issue a request to token endpoint. You must use the same redirect URL in the token request and authorization_code grant type.
A successful request will respond with access_token, expires-in, refresh_token and refresh_expires_in parameters. expires-in and refresh_expires_in values are in minutes.
After obtaining the access token, you can send requests to App Academy API that contain the authorization header in this format: Bearer {access_token}.
The API provides the expires_in parameter in the token response to determine if the user's access token has expired. If it has, use the refresh endpoint to retrieve a new access token and refresh token. expires-in and refresh_expires_in values are in minutes. To obtain a new access token and refresh token, the refresh token must not be expired!
If the user wants to invalidate the access of your app to Custom App Academy API, use the invalidate endpoint.
API Version 2 provides integration with scopes. Scopes provide a granular level of access control and ensure that users can only access the specific resources they need. The following scopes are supported:
authorize
connect
any GET endpoint*
read
any POST/PUT/PATCH ednpoint
write
any DELETE endpoint
delete
*except for /info endpoint.
In API version 2, all the endpoints available in API version 1 are fully supported. To make API calls in version 2, you need to use the URL for API version 2 as well as to ensure proper authorization and scope management by following the instructions provided above.
This endpoint enables authorization of your access to API.

authorization_codehttps://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/appThis endpoint retrieves the refresh token.
