Overview of the flow OAuth2 Flow ReceiptHero

Get an authorization code

Initiate the flow by redirecting the user to the ReceiptHero consent page.

Redirect

https://dev.receipthero.io/auth?response_type=code&client_id={CLIENT_ID_HERE}&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Freceipthero.io%2Fcallback&scope=receipt%3Awrite&state=cmVjZWlwdGhlcm9yb2Nrcw==

If the user approves the request then the authorization server will redirect the user to the redirect URI defined in the request.

Scopes

State

To use the state parameters, the state is to be defined in JSON and encoded into Base64.

Callback

https://client-server.com/callback?code=1745ee387c3545b2b77bf37baaf3b3f5&state=cmVjZWlwdGhlcm9yb2Nrcw==

The client must make sure that the state matches the provided state value provided to the authorization endpoint. This protects against CSRF type of attacks. The code expires one minute after it has been created.

Exchange the authorization code for an access token

The client sends the previously received authorization code to the token endpoint which then returns an access token.
