Note

It is recommended to use the HTTP Basic Authentication scheme (as defined in RFC 2617) for client authentication. Only clients unable to directly utilize the HTTP Basic Authentication should send "client_id" and "client_secret" in the request body. In order for a client to use HTTP Basic Authentication, the following steps need to be performed:

  • Concatenate "client_id" and "client_secret" with a colon in between: {client_id}:{client_secret}
  • Base64-encode the concatenated string.
  • Add the following Authorization header to the request: Basic {Base64-encoded-string}
