Different grant type for oauth

[justageek]

Hi, we need to use 'client_credentials' to get an oauth token before every other api call we make to a third party api call. Well we only need a new token if the previous one has expired, they have a 2 hour life.

Wondering how I can create a custom authenticator so it adds the latest token to every other request we need to make

Thanks,

Hey Brian, are you still trying to figure this out?

I'd love to use Saloon but it seems the 3rd party API I'm using needs grant_type to be client_credentials for the auth payload.

I was able to figure out a solution to my problem at this time, thanks for asking.

Sounds like the extra grant time might be useful! I’m open for discussion on this as I’d like people to have everything they need!

Looks like it could become possible to use client_credentials as the grant_type soon?
It's also a requirement for an API I am connecting to.

Hey @relaypilot!

Yes client credentials is very much on my radar - the main discussion is over at #157
