Rachio Authentication

Authentication

The Rachio Public API authenticates every request with an OAuth2 bearer token. The token is issued to a Rachio account and currently retrieved from the Rachio mobile app (Profile -> "Get API key"). There is no interactive authorization-code flow or documented scope surface; the single account token conveys full access to that account's people, devices, zones, schedules and webhooks.

Rachio secures its APIs with oauth2 and http across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions.

notes:
  - No documented OAuth authorization/token endpoints; token is provisioned in-app.

  - Webhook callbacks are separately authenticated via an x-signature HMAC-SHA256 header keyed on the API token.
