OAuth2 API

Snyk provides an OAuth2 API, primarily for use with Snyk Apps. It complies with RFC 6749.

Most endpoints are served from the Snyk API subdomain (for example, https://api.snyk.io), with the one exception being /oauth2/authorize which is served on the main app subdomain (for example, https://app.snyk.io).

Initiate the authorization code flow

To be called by the end user to authorize the client application to their Snyk organizations. Success returns a redirect to the provided redirect_uri, containing an authorization code which can be exchanged for an access token.

code_challengestringrequired

A cryptographically secure code challenge derived from a secret code verifier you generate on the client-side as defined in [RFC7636]. It is generated from a hashing a randomly generated string, the code_verifier used when exchanging tokens, then URL safe base 64 encoding the result.

Example: YWVjMDcwNjQ1ZmU1M2VlM2IzNzYzMDU5Mzc2MTM0ZjA1OGNjMzM3MjQ3Yzk3OGFkZDE3OGI2Y2NkZmIwMDE5Zg
