A Smart Client must provide an access token when calling a Smart API; the access token authorizes the request. Access tokens are retrieved programmatically, from source code a developer must write. The content of the code to request an access token is determined largely by the type of authorization flow specified during Smart Client registration.

What is an authorization flow?

An authorization flow is a protocol defining how the various roles, as defined by the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect specifications, interact in order to authorize a call to an API. Different flows require different types and pieces of information. Documenting all authorization flows is beyond the scope of this topic, but for more information, see Smart API Developer Documentation.

Which authorization flow should I pick?

The authorization flow you select depends largely on the type of client application being developed. See the links provided during Smart Client registration for more information.
