httr (version 1.1.0)

oauth2.0_token: Generate an oauth2.0 token.

Description

This is the final object in the OAuth dance - it encapsulates the app, the endpoint, other parameters and the received credentials. It is a reference class so that it can be seamlessly updated (e.g. using $refresh()) when access expires.

Usage

oauth2.0_token(endpoint, app, scope = NULL, user_params = NULL,
  type = NULL, use_oob = getOption("httr_oob_default"), as_header = TRUE,
  use_basic_auth = FALSE, cache = getOption("httr_oauth_cache"))

Arguments

endpoint
An OAuth endpoint, created by oauth_endpoint
app
An OAuth consumer application, created by oauth_app
scope
a character vector of scopes to request.
user_params
Named list holding endpoint specific parameters to pass to the server when posting the request for obtaining or refreshing the access token.
type
content type used to override incorrect server response
use_oob
if FALSE, use a local webserver for the OAuth dance. Otherwise, provide a URL to the user and prompt for a validation code. Defaults to the of the "httr_oob_default" default, or TRUE if httpuv is not installed.
as_header
If TRUE, the default, configures the token to add itself to the bearer header of subsequent requests. If FALSE, configures the token to add itself as a url parameter of subsequent requests.
use_basic_auth
if TRUE use http basic authentication to retrieve the token. Some authorization servers require this. If FALSE, the default, retrieve the token by including the app key and secret in the request body.
cache
A logical value or a string. TRUE means to cache using the default cache file .oauth-httr, FALSE means don't cache, and NA means to guess using some sensible heuristics. A string mean use the specified p
