OAuth API response parameters

The OAuth 2.0 API produces a JSON response containing the following parameters as name:value pairs.

Tableau 1. Access token response parameters

Response parameter	Description
scope	Amount of access granted by the access token. The scope is always useraccount, meaning that the access token has the same rights as the user account that authorized the token. For example, if Abel Tuter authorizes an application by providing login credentials, then the resulting access token grants the token bearer the same access privileges as Abel Tuter.
token_type	Type of token issued by the request as defined in the OAuth RFC. The token type is always Bearer, meaning that anyone in possession of the access token can access a protected resource without providing a cryptographic key. See RFC6750 for more information about how OAuth 2.0 uses bearer tokens.
expires_in	Lifespan of the access token in seconds.
refresh_token	String value of the refresh token.
access_token	String value of the access token. Access requests made within the access token expiration time always return the current access token.
format	[Optional] Output format of the response. This value is always JSON.

Remarque :

If any OAuth provider sends the response body as "content-type" instead of "Content-Type", the OAuth HTTP client may not parse the response correctly. To correct this issue, create a system property using these parameters.

Field	Value
Name	glide.oauth.inhouse.httpclient.enabled
Type	true|false
Value	false

The following example illustrates the JSON string returned by an access token request. (Spaces have been added to improve readability).
