Hi Himesh,
To assist you with the authentication process for your custom app on the BuildXact platform, here’s a general approach you can follow:
1. Understand the Authentication Flow:
- From the API documentation you shared, BuildXact uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. This typically involves obtaining an access token using a client ID, client secret, and redirect URI.
- The access token is then used to authenticate your API requests.
2. Setting Up OAuth 2.0:
- Register Your App: Ensure your app is registered with BuildXact, and you have the necessary credentials (client ID, client secret).
- Redirect URI: Define a redirect URI where BuildXact will send the authorization code after the user grants permission.
- Authorization Request: Direct the user to the authorization URL provided by BuildXact, where they will log in and grant your app the necessary permissions.
- Exchange Authorization Code: Once you receive the authorization code via the redirect URI, exchange it for an access token by making a POST request to the token endpoint provided in the API documentation.
3. Making Authenticated Requests:
- Use the access token in the Authorization header of your API requests (typically as Authorization: Bearer <access_token>).
4. Handle Token Expiration:
- Implement logic to handle token expiration by refreshing the token when necessary. This ensures continuous access without requiring the user to log in again.
5. Testing:
- Test the authentication flow thoroughly to ensure everything works as expected.
