What is OAuth 2.0?

OAuth 2.0 is an industry-standard authorization framework enabling third-party applications to obtain limited access to user accounts without exposing user credentials.

Detailed Explanation

OAuth 2.0 defines authorization flows including Authorization Code flow with PKCE, Client Credentials, and Implicit (deprecated) flows. OpenAPI 3.0 supports oauth2 security schemes with authorizationUrl and tokenUrl.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using Implicit flow in modern applications
Not specifying scopes in OpenAPI security declarations

Audit Security Schemes in APIForge
