AI-generated summary

kekafel wants to integrate Discourse community accounts with a third-party CRM tool using the OAUTH flow. The desired process involves:

  1. Users adding their Discourse account to the tool using their login ID and password.
  2. Discourse sending an auth code to a callback URL.
  3. Exchanging the auth code for an access token and refresh token to fetch community data and create tickets.

thoka suggested following the Discourse documentation on using Discourse as an identity provider and creating an API key. However, kekafel found that these methods do not fulfill the OAUTH flow requirements, as they do not provide tokens after completing the steps. kekafel is looking for documentation to achieve the OAUTH flow, which involves redirecting users to the Discourse OAUTH page, granting permissions, and receiving a token at a callback URL.

Thanks @thoka
Create and configure API key :
Working with this docs is like generating API key from the discourse ( community account ) and then adding that API key manually at my web app which i will later use for api call.

I will explain my use case little more detailed :-
User can click on button [add Discourse]
it will redirect him to the discourse OAUTH page where user will grant me all permissions
after click on accept the dicourse will return the token to my callbackUrl
which i Will store and use for further API CALL

Is there any documentation that can help me achieve the same.
