OAuth Clients

When connecting an account for any OAuth app via Pipedream Connect, we'll default to using Pipedream's official OAuth client, which enables you to quickly get up and running. Read more about OAuth clients in Pipedream here.

Using Pipedream OAuth

There are two types of apps in Pipedream:

Key-based: These apps require static credentials, like API keys. Pipedream stores these credentials securely and exposes them via API.
OAuth: These apps require OAuth authorization. Pipedream manages the OAuth flow for these apps, ensuring you always have a fresh access token for requests.

OAuth apps require you create your own OAuth client to deploy to production:

To get started in development mode, you can skip these steps. To deploy your app to production, you'll need to create an OAuth client for the app you're integrating.

Using a custom OAuth client

Follow the steps here to create an OAuth client in Pipedream.
Open the Apps tab within your Pipedream project and select Add app.
Select the app you're looking for, then select your OAuth client from the dropdown menu.
When connecting an account either via the frontend SDK, make sure to include the oauth_app_id in pd.connectAccount().
If using Connect Link, make sure to include the oauth_app_id in the URL.

Finding your OAuth app ID

Create your OAuth client in Pipedream then click the arrow to the left of the client name to expand the details.
