ChurchSuite provides an OAuth2 Server in order to access the API on behalf of a Contact in your Account Address Book. Common uses would include providing the ability for members to edit their own details, or using ChurchSuite to provide authentication for a web service or web site.
Requests to the OAuth Server require a Client Application be created, in order to do this you must contact Support ([email protected]), with the following details:
- The account for which you would like access (if applicable)
- The redirect_uri you wish to use (we generally do not allow Client Applications to have undefined redirect_uris)
- The name of your Application
- A brief description of your application and what it will do
Should you wish to have both a development and production redirect_uri you will require two Client Applications.
The OAuth endpoint for ChurchSuite is found at youraccount.churchsuite.com/oauth and adheres to the OAuth2 Specification.
The authorisation endpoint is: /oauth/authorize
The token endpoint is: /oauth/token
Example applications using the ChurchSuite OAuth endpoints are available in both Ruby and PHP.
