OAuth2 Fundamentals

OAuth2 is the industry-standard protocol for authorization. It enables third-party applications to obtain limited access to user resources without exposing credentials.

Grant Types

Authorization Code Grant (with PKCE)

The recommended flow for public clients:

// PKCE code challenge generation

const crypto = require("crypto");

function generatePKCE() {

const verifier = crypto.randomBytes(32)

.toString("base64url");

const challenge = crypto.createHash("sha256")

.update(verifier)

.digest("base64url");

return { verifier, challenge };

}

// Authorization request

const { verifier, challenge } = generatePKCE();

const authUrl = `https://auth.example.com/authorize?

response_type=code&

client_id=app123&

redirect_uri=https://app.example.com/callback&

code_challenge=${challenge}&

code_challenge_method=S256&

scope=openid%20profile`;

// Token exchange

async function exchangeCode(code, verifier) {

const resp = await fetch("https://auth.example.com/token", {

method: "POST",

headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },

body: new URLSearchParams({

grant_type: "authorization_code",

code: code,

client_id: "app123",

code_verifier: verifier,

redirect_uri: "https://app.example.com/callback"

})

});

return resp.json();

}

Client Credentials Grant

For server-to-server communication:

import requests

def get_client_credentials_token(client_id, client_secret, scope):

resp = requests.post(

"https://auth.example.com/token",
