Authentication

EverReal implements OAuth 2.1 authentication standard on top of its APIs. Before you can use our SSO API, everreal has to generate a client_id and client_secret for the SSO.

Requirements

EverReal APIs supports jwt tokens using Bearer token according to RFC-7519. This allows us to protect our information and make sure, who is requesting has correct authorization to execute the operation.

OAuth 2.0 Password Grant

Important! You should use the password grant only in server-to-server communication, where you completely trust the client.

This allows you to use the username and password to get the refresh_token. After refresh_token is obtain, username and password is not needed.

Authentication

• Make sure to store the refresh_token securely.

• Currently the refresh_token has an expiration between 4 weeks and 2 years, it is configurable

  by EverReal for each customer. After it expires you need to re-authenticate with username and

  password

• The access_token expires by default every hour, but also can be configurable by EverReal to

  have another expiration time (it is described by the expires_in property). Use the

  refresh_token to generate a new one if you get an unauthorized response

Bellow you can see some examples to get token correctly.

Oauth2.0 Authorization Code Flow

Important! Use the Authorization Code Flow in not trusted environments, like Web or Mobile app clients. Below are the necessary endpoints for the Authorization Code Flow.

authorizationUri="https://${subdomain}.everreal.co/accounts/dialog/authorize"
accessTokenUri="https://${subdomain}.everreal.co/accounts/oauth/token"
tokenInfoUri="https://${subdomain}.everreal.co/accounts/api/tokeninfo?access_token={token}"
revokeTokenUri="https://${subdomain}.everreal.co/accounts/api/tokenrevoke?token={token}"
userInfoUri="https://${subdomain}.everreal.co/accounts/api/userinfo"

A basic next.js example can be over our github page https://github.com/EverRealGMBH/everreal-nextjs-nextauth-oauth2-example:
