Authentication Endpoints - POS API

Required mechanisms to authenticate a 3rd party session and trigger the integration to the API.

POST /oauth/token

https://{posapi_url}/flexiti/pos-api/v2.5/oauth/token

Please note the parameters should not be passed as Query string, the service is expecting an application/x-www-form-url encoded payload.

This service Authenticates the developer user and provides a Bearer Token that needs to be used as part of every future request.

The refresh token is used to get a new access token once the current one has expired.

In order to use it add the refresh token (provided in the original /oauth/token call) and change the grant_type to refresh_token.

Scope Parameter Usage

For the token endpoint there are two possible scopes: merchant or customer.

A token with a merchant scope will be allowed for all endpoints
A token with a customer scope will be allowed in all endpoints required by customer facing UI, other endpoints will considered this token invalid.

The endpoints that should be called using a customer scope should be:
