Task | What needs to happen |
1 | Register client application. |
2 | Obtain an access token. |
3 | Make requests. |
Register client application
Before a client can start making requests to the ECHOplatform REST API, they must register their application with Barracuda.
Barracuda Networks requires the following information:
- A contact name
- Company
- Email address
- Name of the client’s application
If the client is not a Barracuda Networks customer, then a redirect URL also must be registered for authentication.
Barracuda supplies the client with a client ID and secret code, which are both a 32-digit hexadecimal number.
Obtain an access token
Using the registered client ID, secret code, and redirect URI, the client requests an access token from the authorization server.
Make requests
Using the access token granted by the authorization server, the client then can request resources from the ECHOplatform REST API. When the access token expires, obtain a new access token before making additional requests.
