oauth2.0_token

Generate an oauth2.0 token.

Description

This is the final object in the OAuth dance - it encapsulates the app, the endpoint, other parameters and the received credentials. It is a reference class so that it can be seamlessly updated (e.g. using $refresh()) when access expires.

Usage

oauth2.0_token(
  endpoint,
  app,
  scope = NULL,
  user_params = NULL,
  type = NULL,
  use_oob = getOption("httr_oob_default"),
  oob_value = NULL,
  as_header = TRUE,
  use_basic_auth = FALSE,
  cache = getOption("httr_oauth_cache"),
  config_init = list(),
  client_credentials = FALSE,
  credentials = NULL,
  query_authorize_extra = list()
)

Arguments

`endpoint`	An OAuth endpoint, created by `oauth_endpoint()`
`app`	An OAuth consumer application, created by `oauth_app()`
`scope`	a character vector of scopes to request.
`user_params`	Named list holding endpoint specific parameters to pass to the server when posting the request for obtaining or refreshing the access token.
`type`	content type used to override incorrect server response
`use_oob`	if FALSE, use a local webserver for the OAuth dance. Otherwise, provide a URL to the user and prompt for a validation code. Defaults to the of the `"httr_oob_default"` default, or `TRUE` if `httpuv` is not installed.
`oob_value`	if provided, specifies the value to use for the redirect_uri parameter when retrieving an authorization URL. Defaults to "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob". Requires `use_oob = TRUE`.
`as_header`	If `TRUE`, the default, configures the token to add itself to the bearer header of subsequent requests. If `FALSE`, configures the token to add itself as a url parameter of subsequent requests.
`use_basic_auth`	if `TRUE` use http basic authentication to retrieve the token. Some authorization servers require this. If `FALSE`, the default, retrieve the token by including the app key and secret in the request body.
`cache`	A logical value or a string. `TRUE` means to cache using the default cache file `.httr-oauth`, `FALSE` means don't cache, and `NA` means to guess using some sensible heuristics. A string means use the specified path as the cache file.
`config_init`	Additional configuration settings sent to `POST()`, e.g. `user_agent()`.
`client_credentials`	Default to `FALSE`. Set to `TRUE` to use Client Credentials Grant instead of Authorization Code Grant. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#section-4.4.
`credentials`	Advanced use only: allows you to completely customise token generation.
`query_authorize_extra`	Default to `list()`. Set to named list holding query parameters to append to initial auth page query. Useful for some APIs.
