Authentication

FastAuth supports multiple methods of authenticating with our API, depending on your integration scenario.

Available authentication methods

• API Key Authentication
  Use your key and secret to obtain a bearer token.

• Token Exchange (User Delegation)
  Exchange an access token generated by external Identity Provider (e.g. Okta) to act on behalf of a specific user.

For typical API integration, API Key authentication should be sufficient. However, if you need to perform actions on behalf of a specific user, please get familiar with the Token Exchange flow and contact us at support@fastauth.com. We will provide further guidance.
