If you have an application that needs to interact with Bynder, you can create an API token specifically for that app to use when accessing Bynder. OAuth 1 tokens allow for seamless integration between your app and Bynder by enabling the app to make authenticated API requests on behalf of the user.
This feature/solution requires your Customer Success Contact to enable, but then individual permissions can be done by the Bynder Admin.
Who can create OAuth 1 API Tokens?
Once enabled, users with the following permission can enable and configure this integration:
-
Manage portal settings: enable you to access the settings page to set up API tokens.
-
Create Bynder API tokens: this enables you to create consumers and tokens.
-
View Bynder API tokens: displays a list of all the tokens created for your account.
-
Revoke Bynder API tokens: enables you to delete selected tokens.
