Overview
PBS Account is a PBS's OAuth2 provider (thought though, it also supports authentication via Google and Facebook Oauth2), and ; it can be used to implement login on station site and/or for Passport.
...
To get started:
- Request a client id, client secret, and scopes from PBS Support.
- Provide a redirect URI in your request: this is the URL you want your users to land on once they have successfully logged in to your site
- Develop your implementation, using the PBS Account QA site, until you are ready for production.
After we process your request, we'll give you:
Client id - given to you by a PBS Account Admin
Client secret - granted to you by a PBS Account Admin
- Scope(s): this denotes what you can do with your access token; currently we require 'account' and station name (e.g. 'wnet') scopes
- Access token - actually, this is dynamically provided via the OAuth2 workflow
Use these endpoints in your implementation:
- Authorization endpoint: /oauth2/authorize/
- Token exchange endpoint: /oauth2/token/
