Overview

To interact with the Palisade API, you need to use API credentials. Palisade provides a secure platform for creating and storing API credentials.

What are API credentials?

API credentials are unique secrets that are used to authenticate and authorize access to various resources and actions within the system.

Users can grant these credentials permissions for specific resources and actions, allowing for fine-grained control over who can interact with the API and what actions each credential can perform.

How do API credentials secure access to the API?

Firstly, a clientIDand clientSecretare generated.

These two codes, which essentially act as a username and password respectively, are then exchanged using the OAuth flow framework for an access token.

This access token is subsequently used to authenticate API requests, ensuring secure and controlled access to Palisade's resources.
