Fragment Authentication

Authentication

Fragment authenticates API requests with the OAuth2 client-credentials flow. You create an API client (client_id + client_secret) in the Fragment dashboard, exchange those credentials for a short-lived Bearer access token at a region-specific token endpoint, and send it as `Authorization: Bearer ` on GraphQL requests. Access tokens expire after one hour. Identity is brokered through Auth0 (idp.fragment.dev) with the API audience https://api-global.fragment.dev.

Fragment secures its APIs with oauth2 across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions. OAuth 2.0 is offered via the clientCredentials flow(s).
