An app is the integration object you create in the developer portal. It corresponds to an OAuth client registered with COSMIC Auth.

​
App configuration

Each app includes:
  • A client_id your integration sends when starting OAuth flows and exchanging codes or tokens with COSMIC Auth
  • One or more registered redirect_uri values (HTTPS callbacks where the browser returns after authorization)
  • Scopes configured in the developer portal that control what the app can do in the COSMIC API—shown to the user at consent; see Scopes
Apps can be public or confidential clients, depending on whether they can securely store a client_secret. See Creating apps for client type guidance.

​
OAuth endpoints

OAuth authorize and token traffic uses https://api.natecosmic.com. See OAuth and API reference.

​
Lifecycle

Create and configure apps in the developer portal before redirecting end users to the authorize endpoint. See Creating apps, OAuth, and Quickstart.
