I’m currently creating my app within the Zapier platform. I have OAuth endpoints setup in my application, hosted on Heroku. From my understanding of OAuth, I need to store Zapier’s client_id
and client_secret
in my app’s database to identify who (Zapier in this case) is requesting API access to my app through the OAuth flow.
Zapier is asking me for my app’s client_id
and client_secret
(why?), but they haven’t given me theirs. Not sure how I’m supposed to get a successful authorization if they won’t give me their client_id
and client_secret
.
Is my understanding of OAuth wrong? How am I supposed to identify who is requesting access to my API?
I’ve tried finding explanations for OAuth flows and looked through Zapier’s documentation but there seems to be a general lack of useful information around this topic.
