Client credentials grant

ClientCredentials and traits AccessTokenProvider and TokenIntrospection expose methods that:

• Obtain token via requestToken
• introspect the token for its details like UserInfo

import org.polyvariant.sttp.oauth2.json.circe.instances._ // Or your favorite JSON implementation

val accessTokenProvider = AccessTokenProvider[IO](tokenUrl, clientId, clientSecret)(backend)

val tokenIntrospection = TokenIntrospection[IO](tokenIntrospectionUrl, clientId, clientSecret)(backend)

val scope: Option[Scope] = Some("scope")

for {

token <- accessTokenProvider.requestToken(scope) // ask for token

response <- tokenIntrospection.introspect(token.accessToken) // check if token is valid

} yield response.active // is the token active?

Caching

Caching modules provide cached AccessTokenProvider, which can:

• reuse the token multiple times using a cache (default cache implementation may be overridden using appropriate constructor functions)
• fetch a new token if the previous one expires

module name	class name	provided cache implementation	semaphore	notes
sttp-oauth2-cache-cats	CachingAccessTokenProvider	cats-effect3's Ref	cats-effect2's Semaphore
sttp-oauth2-cache-zio	CachingAccessTokenProvider	zio's Ref	zio's Semaphore
sttp-oauth2-cache-future	FutureCachingAccessTokenProvider	monix-execution's AtomicAny	monix-execution's AsyncSemaphore	It only uses submodule of whole monix project

Cats example

val delegate = AccessTokenProvider[IO](tokenUrl, clientId, clientSecret)(backend)

CachingAccessTokenProvider.refCacheInstance[IO](delegate)

sttp-oauth2 backends

SttpOauth2ClientCredentialsBackend is a GenericBackend which sends auth bearer headers for every http call performed with it using provided AccessTokenProvider.

val scope: Option[Scope] = Some("scope") // backend will use defined scope for all requests

val backend: GenericBackend[IO, Any] = SttpOauth2ClientCredentialsBackend[IO, Any](tokenUrl, clientId, clientSecret)(scope)(delegateBackend)

backend.send(request) // this will add header: Authorization: Bearer {token}

In order to cache tokens, use one of the AccessTokenProviders described in Caching section.
