CLI Auth

CLI Auth for WorkOS Connect enables third-party applications to build command-line tools that integrate with your app’s credentials using the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Flow.

The CLI Auth flow for Connect involves two main endpoints:

1. The device authorization URL initiates the flow by obtaining device codes, user codes, and verification URIs.
2. The device access token URL is where the device exchanges the device code for access and refresh tokens after the user authenticates.

Exchanges a device code for access and refresh tokens as part of the device authorization flow for WorkOS Connect applications. This endpoint should be polled repeatedly until the user authorizes the request, declines it, or the device code expires.

curl -X POST 'https://<subdomain>.authkit.app/oauth2/token' \
  -d 'grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code' \
  -d 'device_code=ETaHpDNhfxu0HyLhp6b8HGSh26NzYJSKw3TT6aS7HKKBhTyTD0zAW6ApTTolug0b' \
  -d 'client_id=client_01JP8BD0CZ401TDF9X54NT5ZEK'

The returned tokens are similar to those provided by the authorization code grant.
