PeerTube OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 derived

PeerTube publishes 3 OAuth 2.0 scopes via the password flow. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the PeerTube API on a user’s behalf.

Tokens are issued from /api/v1/users/token.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

    Authenticating via OAuth requires the following steps:
    - Have an activated account
    - [Generate] an access token for that account at `/api/v1/users/token`.
    - Make requests with the *Authorization: Bearer <token\>* header
    - Profit, depending on the role assigned to the account

    Note that the __access token is valid for 1 day__ and is given
    along with a __refresh token valid for 2 weeks__.
