Authentication

Pure Farming uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. We have a walkthrough which will take you through the different ways that you can authenticate with Pure Farming with examples of each.

OAuth 2.0 is an authentication and authorization protocol that enables applications to obtain limited access to resources on an HTTP service. This authorization standard protects user data by providing access to the data without revealing the user’s identity or credentials.

For more information on OAuth 2.0 itself, we recommend looking at oauth.net and if you are a developer OAuth 2 Simplified might be a good start, there is also a Udemy course you can do as well if that is helpful.

If you are a non-technical reader, and wanting to understand how you can authenticate with Pure Farming to get data back out, then a good introduction is What is OAuth 2.0 by auth0.
