This authentication scheme allows an application to obtain an access token by exchanging its application credentials, such as client ID and client secret. This flow is particularly suitable for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications, including your application or backend services, as it enables the authentication and authorization of the application itself, rather than that of a user. To obtain the access token, use the following:
  1. A POST request.
  2. The https://vantage-[region].abbyy.com/auth2/connect/token resource.
  3. A Content-Type header with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding.
  4. A request body with the following parameters:
ParameterDescription
client_idApplication identifier.
client_secretSecure application key.
grant_type=client_credentialsSpecifies that the client credentials grant type is used.
scope=openid permissions global.wildcardSpecifies the permission scope.
Sample request: The server’s response to your request will contain the access token: 
{
  "access_token": "<redacted>",
  "expires_in": 2592000,
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "scope": "openid permissions global.wildcard"
}
