<h1>Clipper authorisation mechanism<a name="clipper-authorisation-mechanism" href="#clipper-authorisation-mechanism" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h1>
|
|
<p>In order to access the clipper API, the client must use a token, which is a random string generated by the application.</p>
|
|
<p>There are two ways for applications to obtain this token:</p>
|
|
<h2>Get it from the user<a name="get-it-from-the-user" href="#get-it-from-the-user" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The user can copy the token in the Clipper configuration page and provide it directly to the application. This is the simplest method.</p>
|
|
<h2>Request it programmatically<a name="request-it-programmatically" href="#request-it-programmatically" class="heading-anchor">🔗</a></h2>
|
|
<p>The token can also be requested programmatically, as is done for the web clipper extension. It works as below:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The client calls <code>POST /auth</code>. The server responds with <code>{ auth_token: "AUTH_TOKEN" }</code>. This <code>auth_token</code> is different from the regular token - it is just used to authentify the client.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The application displays a message asking the user to Accept or Reject the access request.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The clients calls <code>GET /auth/check?auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN</code> at regular intervals. Initially the server responds with <code>{ status: "waiting" }</code>, since we are waiting for the user to confirm or reject.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Once the user accepts the request in the application, the server returns <code>{ status: "accepted", token: "API_TOKEN" }</code>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>The client can now use this <code>API_TOKEN</code> to make requests.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>If the users rejects the request, the server returns <code>{ status: "rejected" }</code>, and the client can display an error message.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
