Authentication overview
Configure authentication for Reqon API sources including OAuth2, Bearer tokens, API keys, and Basic auth with automatic token refresh.
OAuth 2.0 authentication
OAuth 2.0 is a common choice for enterprise APIs. Reqon sends your access token as a bearer token and refreshes it when a request comes back with a 401.
Bearer token authentication
Bearer token authentication is the most common auth method for REST APIs. The token is sent in the Authorization header with each request.
API key authentication
API key authentication sends a key in a request header or query parameter. Many SaaS APIs use this method.
Basic authentication
HTTP basic authentication sends a username and password with each request, encoded in Base64. While simple, it should only be used over HTTPS.
