1.8 Alpha - Trouble With Some API Calls

@cslaughter i’ve added some bits to the API today that might help you in your efforts (although I don’t know exactly what your integration does, so I can’t be sure!).

Up until now the Authorization server has only implemented the flow for authorization_code grants, where by the user is directed around the page to authorize the application request. However, i’ve now added support for client_credentials grants where the client_id and secret are enough to obtain an access token. This is intended for machine to machine implementations.

Therefore the application edit form now looks like this:

You tick the client credentials grant type and include grant_type=client_credentials in your request to /api/authorize/access_token to get access to this grant.

I’ve also expanded and updated the documentation in the manual: http://xibo.org.uk/manual-tempel/en/cms_api.html
