API

Under the tab API in the dashboard of an enterprise account the following settings are made:

• OAuth clients

In order to access the API of viewneo, you need (or the third-party application) an authentication using OAuth2. OAuth (Open Authorization) is an open protocol that allows standardized, secure API authorization for desktop, web, and mobile applications.

If third party applications - a client (for example, zapier) - have been granted access, they will be listed here.

The viewneo API uses OAuth2 to obtain the access token. For this to work, an OAuth client must first be created here in the viewneo API settings.

• Personal access tokens
