🔒 Authentication

The Lynxo API uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your client credentials in the Lynxo Dashboard by navigating to the Developers section.

🔗 https://dashboard.lynxo.ai/developers

Your client credentials carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! Do not share your client credentials in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authentication Response

When you successfully authenticate, you'll receive a JSON response containing:

  • access_token A JWT token used to authenticate API requests
  • token_type Always "Bearer", indicating how to use the token
  • expires_in Token validity duration in seconds (typically 1 hour/3600 seconds)

client_secret
string
Required
The client secret issued to the client during registration. Keep this secure and never expose it in client-side code.
