Third-party applications
########################
(*new in 0.7.0*)
FitTrackee provides a REST API (see `documentation <api/index.html>`__) whose
most endpoints require authorization/authentication.
To allow a third-party application to interact with API endpoints, an
`OAuth2 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749>`_ client can be created
in user settings ('apps' tab).
.. warning::
OAuth2 endpoints requiring authentication are not accessible by third-party
applications (`documentation <api/oauth2.html>`__), only by FitTrackee
client (first-party application).
FitTrackee supports only `Authorization Code <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749#section-1.3.1>`_
flow (with PKCE support).
It allows to exchange an authorization code for an access token.

The client ID and secret must be sent in the POST body.
2022-08-27 16:50:29 +02:00
It is recommended to use `PKCE <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7636>`_
to provide a better security.
The following scopes are available:
- ``application:write``: grants write access to application configuration (only for users with administration rights),
- ``profile:read``: grants read access to auth endpoints,
- ``profile:write``: grants write access to auth endpoints,
- ``users:read``: grants read access to users endpoints,
- ``users:write``: grants write access to users endpoints,
- ``workouts:read``: grants read access to workouts-related endpoints,
- ``workouts:write``: grants write access to workouts-related endpoints.

.. note::
OAuth2 support is implemented with `Authlib <https://docs.authlib.org/en/latest/>`_ library.
.. warning::
| If FitTrackee is running behind a proxy, the ``X-Forwarded-Proto`` header must be set.
| For instance for `nginx`:
.. code-block::
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
