Authorization
Scratch
Client registration endpoints require the session itself (tracked by cookies - make sure they are passed) to be logged in with Scratch. Since it is probably difficult to use the UI to login and then pass off the session to code somehow (unless using browser JavaScript), this is best done with the #Scratch Login Endpoints:
- Start the login
- Personally comment the provided
code on your Scratch profile
- Finish the login, providing the CSRF token given in step 1
- This session is now logged in
Token
Scoped endpoints require an access token for authorization. This must be passed in a header. Example:
GET <api-root>/user HTTP/1.1
...
Authorization: Bearer <base64-encoded access token>
...
