      scheme: bearer
      description: '## OAuth Authentication


        In order to interact with the DigitalOcean API, you or your application must

        authenticate.


        The DigitalOcean API handles this through OAuth, an open standard for

        authorization. OAuth allows you to delegate access to your account.

        Scopes can be used to grant full access, read-only access, or access to

        a specific set of endpoints.


        You can generate an OAuth token by visiting the [Apps & API](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens)

        section of the DigitalOcean control panel for your account.


        An OAuth token functions as a complete authentication request. In effect, it

        acts as a substitute for a username and password pair.


        Because of this, it is absolutely **essential** that you keep your OAuth

        tokens secure. In fact, upon generation, the web interface will only display

        each token a single time in order to prevent the token from being compromised.


        DigitalOcean access tokens begin with an identifiable prefix in order to

        distinguish them from other similar tokens.


        - `dop_v1_` for personal access tokens generated in the control panel

        - `doo_v1_` for tokens generated by applications using [the OAuth flow](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/oauth-api/)

        - `dor_v1_` for OAuth refresh tokens


        ### Scopes


        Scopes act like permissions assigned to an API token. These permissions

        determine what actions the token can perform. You can create API

        tokens that grant read-only access, full access, or limited access to

        specific endpoints by using custom scopes.


        Generally, scopes are designed to match HTTP verbs and common CRUD

        operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete).


        | HTTP Verb | CRUD Operation | Scope |

        |---|---|---|

        | GET | Read | `<resource>:read` |

        | POST | Create | `<resource>:create` |

        | PUT/PATCH | Update | `<resource>:update` |

        | DELETE | Delete | `<resource>:delete` |


        For example, creating a new Droplet by making a `POST` request to the

        `/v2/droplets` endpoint requires the `droplet:create` scope while

        listing Droplets by making a `GET` request to the `/v2/droplets`

        endpoint requires the `droplet:read` scope.


        Each endpoint below specifies which scope is required to access it when

        using custom scopes.


        ### How to Authenticate with OAuth


        In order to make an authenticated request, include a bearer-type

        `Authorization` header containing your OAuth token. All requests must be

        made over HTTPS.


        ### Authenticate with a Bearer Authorization Header


        ```

        curl -X $HTTP_METHOD -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/$OBJECT"

        ```
