Interface: OAuth2ClientCredentialsAuthentication

Defined in: types.ts:622

Authenticate using the OAuth2 Client Credentials flow. You must specify the token exchange URL here as part of the pack definition. You'll provide the application's client ID and client secret when authenticating.

Example

pack.setUserAuthentication({
  type: coda.AuthenticationType.OAuth2ClientCredentials,
  // This URL comes from the API's developer documentation.
  tokenUrl: "https://api.example.com/token",
});

Properties

credentialsLocation?

optional credentialsLocation: TokenExchangeCredentialsLocation

Defined in: types.ts:525

When making the token exchange request, where to pass the client credentials (client ID and client secret). The default is TokenExchangeCredentialsLocation#Automatic, which should work for most providers. Pick a more specific option if the provider invalidates authorization codes when there is an error in the token exchange.

endpointDomain?

optional endpointDomain: string

Defined in: types.ts:283

When requiresEndpointUrl is set to true this should be the root domain that all endpoints share. For example, this value would be "example.com" if specific endpoints looked like {custom-subdomain}.example.com.

For packs that make requests to multiple domains (uncommon), this should be the domain within PackVersionDefinition.networkDomains that this configuration applies to.

getConnectionName?

optional getConnectionName: MetadataFormula

Defined in: types.ts:251

A function that is called when a user sets up a new account, that returns a name for the account to label that account in the UI. The users credentials are applied to any fetcher requests that this function makes. Typically, this function makes an API call to an API's "who am I" endpoint and returns a username.

If omitted, or if the function returns an empty value, the account will be labeled with the creating user's Coda username.

BaseOAuthAuthentication.getConnectionName


instructionsUrl?

optional instructionsUrl: string

Defined in: types.ts:266

A link to a help article or other page with more instructions about how to set up an account for this pack.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.instructionsUrl


nestedResponseKey?

optional nestedResponseKey: string

Defined in: types.ts:518

In rare cases, OAuth providers send back access tokens nested inside another object in their authentication response.

BaseOAuthAuthentication.nestedResponseKey


networkDomain?

optional networkDomain: string | string[]

Defined in: types.ts:297

Which domain(s) should get auth credentials, when a pack is configured with multiple domains. Packs configured with only one domain or with requiresEndpointUrl set to true can omit this.

Using multiple authenticated network domains is uncommon and requires Coda approval.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.networkDomain


postSetup?

optional postSetup: SetEndpoint[]

Defined in: types.ts:289

One or more setup steps to run after the user has set up the account, before completing installation of the pack. This is not common.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.postSetup


requiresEndpointUrl?

optional requiresEndpointUrl: boolean

Defined in: types.ts:274

If true, indicates this has pack has a specific endpoint domain for each account, that is used as the basis of HTTP requests. For example, API requests are made to .example.com rather than example.com. If true, the user will be prompted to provide their specific endpoint domain when creating a new account.

BaseOAuthAuthentication.requiresEndpointUrl


scopeDelimiter?

optional scopeDelimiter: " " | "," | ";"

Defined in: types.ts:509

The delimiter to use when joining scopes when generating authorization URLs.

The OAuth2 standard is to use spaces to delimit scopes, and Coda will do that by default. If the API you are using requires a different delimiter, say a comma, specify it here.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.scopeDelimiter


scopeParamName?

optional scopeParamName: string

Defined in: types.ts:502

In rare cases, OAuth providers may want the permission scopes in a different query parameter than scope.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.scopeParamName


scopes?

optional scopes: string[]

Defined in: types.ts:497

Scopes that are required to use this pack.

Each API defines its own list of scopes, or none at all. You should consult the documentation for the API you are connecting to.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.scopes


tokenPrefix?

optional tokenPrefix: string

Defined in: types.ts:533

A custom prefix to be used when passing the access token in the HTTP Authorization header when making requests. Typically this prefix is Bearer which is what will be used if this value is omitted. However, some services require a different prefix. When sending authenticated requests, a HTTP header of the form Authorization: <tokenPrefix> <token> will be used.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.tokenPrefix


tokenQueryParam?

optional tokenQueryParam: string

Defined in: types.ts:539

In rare cases, OAuth providers ask that a token is passed as a URL parameter rather than an HTTP header. If so, this is the name of the URL query parameter that should contain the token.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.tokenQueryParam


tokenUrl

tokenUrl: string

Defined in: types.ts:513

The URL that Coda will hit in order to exchange the temporary code for an access token.

Inherited from

BaseOAuthAuthentication.tokenUrl


type

type: OAuth2ClientCredentials

Defined in: types.ts:624

Identifies this as OAuth2 client credentials authentication.
