Authentication Types
To access the Chronomics API, most calls require you to be authenticated via a token. This can either be:
- an Access token if you are authenticating as a partner and want to access all your users' data
- OAuth if you are building a publicly accessible application where users access their own data
Access Tokens
You should use access tokens if:
- You are a Chronomics partner
- You want to access the API from your backend (the token must be kept secure)
- You want to programmatically access your users' data
OAuth
You should use OAuth if:
- You want users to only be able to access their own data
- You want to access the API from your front-end
