  title: TwentyAPI (TwentyCi) OAuth 2.0 Token Authorisation API
  version: v2
  summary: Token issuance endpoint for TwentyCi's TwentyAPI.
  description: 'The single documented authentication endpoint for TwentyCi''s TwentyAPI. A caller exchanges a client_id, client_secret, username and password - all issued by TwentyCi under a commercial data agreement, not by self-serve signup - for a bearer access token and refresh token. The access token is then presented as ''Authorization: Bearer <token-key>'' against https://api.twentyci.co.uk/api/v2.


    TwentyCi''s documentation labels the security scheme ''OAuth2'' with an ''Implicit'' flow, while the request body it documents is a resource-owner password-credentials grant (grant_type=password). Both facts are recorded here rather than reconciled. The only documented scope value is ''*''. No OpenID Connect discovery document is served: https://api.twentyci.co.uk/.well-known/openid-configuration returned HTTP 404 on 2026-07-26.


    PROVENANCE: harvested by API Evangelist on 2026-07-26 from TwentyCi''s own published documentation node ''Authorisation for API Requests'' in the public JSON corpus at https://api.twentyci.co.uk/api/documentation/markdocs (HTTP 200). The endpoint''s existence was independently confirmed: GET https://api.twentyci.co.uk/oauth/token returned HTTP 405 with {"message":"The GET method is not supported for route oauth/token. Supported methods: POST."}. This is an API Evangelist derivation, not a provider-published artifact.'
