Drama 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!
To use the access token, include the following header in subsequent API requests to Drama: Authorization: access_token_goes_here
Python example:
import requests headers={"Authorization": "access_token_goes_here"} url="https://rdrama.net/@carpathianflorist" r=requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(r.json())
The expected result of this would be a large JSON representation of the posts posted by @carpathianflorist

If done correctly, the user will see that your application wants to access their Drama account, and be prompted to approve or deny the request.
The user clicks "Authorize". Drama 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.
To use the access token, include the following header in subsequent API requests to Drama: Authorization: access_token_goes_here
Python example:
import requests headers={"Authorization": "access_token_goes_here"} url="https://rdrama.net/@carpathianflorist" r=requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(r.json())
The expected result of this would be a large JSON representation of the submissions submitted by @carpathianflorist
