Session 3: Tokens and APIs
OAuth is all about tokens. These tokens have specific purposes and usage patterns. In this session, we'll explain the various tokens and how they work when calling an API. We will also discuss how to efficiently design an API infrastructure using a token-based architecture and the Phantom Token Flow.
- Tokens in OAuth and OpenID
- Understanding token type, purpose, and format
- Typical token lifetimes
- Calling an API with an Access Token
