Welcome! This section will walk you through the initial steps required to integrate with Gridio Connect.

📩 Requesting API Access from Gridio

To get started, request the following credentials by emailing us at [email protected]:

• Business ID — A unique identifier for your organization.
• Client ID & Client Secret — OAuth2 credentials used to access Gridio Connect API.

🔐 Authorizing Your Backend

Once you've received your credentials, your authentication setup should resemble:

• Client ID: 406mt87xd0ol12t0l21luqdj0p
• Client Secret: ds25divskdkcaahl9d1e814q280ve07tlq3b5vfgvp66q31g5cf

(Example credentials only)

Gridio implements an OAuth2-compliant JWT-based authentication flow. Use your client credentials to obtain an access token pair using the OAuth2 client credentials grant.

For full details on token handling, refer to the Authentication and Authorization section.
