Hi all,

I'm looking into making a connector for hubzilla to another service, and the zot api looks like what I want. However, I'm a little confused about how authentication to it works. How do I get the auth token I need to make zot api calls?

Take your pick:

HTTP basic auth
OAuth1
Oauth2
OpenID Connect
OpenWebAuth

The endpoints are:

oauth1: /api/authorize, /api/token
oauth2/oidc: /authorize, /token
openwebauth: /owa

To create oauth clients: install the oauth1 or oauth2 apps from https://zotlabs.org/apps/available . Then you'll find the appropriate client management links on your settings page. Dynamic client registration is also available but this has only had minimal testing.
