Client Credentials Flow Diagram

Before diving into the details, let’s walk through the OAuth2 client credentials flow. Understanding this flow is crucial for a smooth authentication experience.
  1. Key Generation: Obtain client credentials (client ID and client secret) by registering your application on our developer portal in the Mention Me platform.
  2. Authentication Request: Your application sends a request to our authorization server (the /oauth/token endpoint) with the client credentials. Upon successful authentication, the authorization server issues an access token, valid for one hour.
  3. API Requests: Use the access token to make authorized requests to our API.
Steps (2) and (3) are shown in the following diagram:

​
Token Expiration Management

The access token provided will last for 1 hour. You should implement a mechanism to refresh tokens when they expire to ensure uninterrupted access.
