Authorization Code Grant

This is the first step in the process, the granting of a single-use authorization code.

GET ​/oauth2/auth

Request Query Parameters

Name Description Required
response_type Indicates the desired response type. Must be set to ​code​. Y
client_id Your app’s client id Y
redirect_uri The URL to redirect to when the user completes the authorization flow. This URL will receive the results of the authorization request as query parameters. Y
scope A space­delimited list of permission scopes requested by your app. Must be limited to scopes that have not previously been authorized. (See below for a list of scope.) Y
state An opaque string used to maintain state between requests. MyFitnessPal will include this string unchanged as a query parameter appended to ​redirect_uri​. Useful for protecting against Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. If used, it should be an arbitrary string unique to each authentication request. N

Available permission scopes:

 ● measurements
 ● diary
