A user must authorize your account for you to access their information on Middesk. To do this you'll create a link to Middesk where they can approve access. The link's url looks like this:
https://accounts.middesk.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id={CLIENT_ID}&redirect_uri={CLIENT_REDIRECT_URI}&scope={REQUESTED_SCOPE}
Replace CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_REDIRECT_URI with your actual OAuth client_id and corresponding redirect_uri located on the credentials page in the Middesk developer settings dashboard. Replace REQUESTED_SCOPE with one of read_only or read_write.
On Middesk, the user will be prompted to log in to their Middesk account and authorize integration with your platform.
The link contains the parameters outlined below:
Request Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
client_id | The unique identifier provided to your OAuth client. Located on the credentials page. |
redirect_uri | The URL that a user is redirected to upon authorizing the account |
response_type | The only option is code |
scope | Either read_only or read_write. Defaults to read_only if not specified. |
