How to get the token via API

Hi @videoask.uat, that’s the correct endpoint 🙂 I know it might seem a little confusing since you retrieve the access_token via UI rather than through the backend. But you only need to do this the first time you authenticate your account.

Essentially, you call GET https://auth.videoask.com/authorize to get your temporary authorization code.

Then you call POST https://api.videoask.com/oauth/token, using the temporary authorization code, to get your access_token (and optionally a refresh_token).

When your access_token expires, you can use the refresh_token (which doesn’t expire) to generate a new access_token.

I’ll share two Python code snippets that show this process in practice:

• Generate access and refresh tokens
• Generate new access token (after previous one expires)

I hope this helps!
