OAuth Access

To enable your application to allow Groove logins through OAuth2 authentication please contact us for assistance!

Requesting a Grant

GET https://api.groovehq.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=XXX&response_type=code&redirect_uri=YYY

In order to prompt the user to grant the access, we need to open a browser window. Use the URL above and use the table below to replace to the correct values:

Key	Value
client_id	Your Client ID emailed to you for your application.
redirect_uri	Your Redirect URI which you supplied to us. This has to match or your request will be rejected!

When the user grants access to your application, that callback URI will be triggered and you will receive our authorization code.

Next step is to fetch the authenticated users access token.

Getting an Access Token

POST https://api.groovehq.com/oauth/token

Your user will be redirected back to your application with our code parameter which must be used below.

Create a POST request to the URL above, to recieve your users access token for authentication against our API.

The required parameters are:

Key	Value
client_id	Your Client ID emailed to you for your application.
client_secret	Your Client Secret emailed to you for your application.
redirect_uri	Your Redirect URI which you supplied to us. This has to match or your request will be rejected!
grant_type	Your grant type which should be "authorization_code"
code	The authorization code received in the previous step.

    "refresh_token": "8c488ab5f75d61..."
}
