# API Guide for Bots
|
|

|
This page explains how to obtain and use an access token.
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Create your Application
|
|
|
|
In the [apps tab of {{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}} settings](/settings/apps), fill in and submit the form to request an access token. You will need:
|
|
|
|
* an application name
|
|
* a Redirect URI. May not use HTTP unless using localhost (use HTTPS instead).
|
|
* a brief description of what your bot is intended to do
|
|
|
|
Don't worry too much about accuracy; you will be able to change all of these later.
|
|
|
|
{{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}} administrators will review and approve or deny your request for an access token. You'll know when your request has been approved when you get a private message with an access token tied to your account.
|
|
|
|
DO NOT reveal your Client ID or Access Token. Anyone with these information will be able to pretend to be you. You are responsible for keeping them a secret!
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Using the Access Token
|
|
|
|
To use the access token, include the following header in subsequent API requests to {{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}}: `Authorization: access_token_goes_here`
|
|
|
|
Python example:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
import requests
|
|
|
|
headers={"Authorization": "access_token_goes_here", "User-Agent": "sex"}
|
|
|
|
url="{{request.host_url}}@carpathianflorist"
|
|
|
|
r=requests.get(url, headers=headers)
|
|
|
|
print(r.json())
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
The expected result of this would be a large JSON representation of the posts posted by @carpathianflorist

# API Guide for Applications

|
The OAuth2 authorization flow is used to enable users to authorize third-party applications to access their {{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}} account without having to provide their login information to the application.
|
|
|
|
This page explains how to obtain API application keys, how to prompt a user for authorization, and how to obtain and use access tokens.
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Create your Application
|
|
|
|
In the [apps tab of {{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}} settings](/settings/apps), fill in and submit the form to request new API keys. You will need:
|
|
|
|
* an application name
|
|
* a Redirect URI. May not use HTTP unless using localhost (use HTTPS instead).
|
|
* a brief description of what your application is intended to do
|
|
|
|
Don't worry too much about accuracy; you will be able to change all of these later.
|
|
|
|
{{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}} administrators will review and approve or deny your request for API keys. You'll know when your request has been approved when you get a private message with an access token tied to your account.
|
|
|
|
DO NOT reveal your Client ID or Access Token. Anyone with these information will be able to pretend to be you. You are responsible for keeping them a secret!
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Prompt Your User for Authorization
|
|
|
|
Send your user to `{{request.host_url}}authorize/?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID`
|
|
|
|
If done correctly, the user will see that your application wants to access their {{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}} account, and be prompted to approve or deny the request.
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Catch the redirect
|
|
|
|
The user clicks "Authorize". {{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}} will redirect the user's browser to GET the designated redirect URI. The access token URL parameter will be included in the redirect, which your server should process.
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Using the Access Token
|
|
|
|
To use the access token, include the following header in subsequent API requests to {{'SITE_NAME' | app_config}}: `Authorization: access_token_goes_here`
|
|
|
|
Python example:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
import requests
|
|
|
|
headers={"Authorization": "access_token_goes_here", "User-Agent": "sex"}
|
|
|
|
url="{{request.host_url}}@carpathianflorist"
|
|
|
|
r=requests.get(url, headers=headers)
|
|
|
|
print(r.json())
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
The expected result of this would be a large JSON representation of the submissions submitted by @carpathianflorist
