If using one of the available SDKs in TypeScript, Python, or Java, the OAuth access token is automatically generated (and refreshed) for you when you initialize the client.
Create an OAuth client to get your client ID and secret:
  1. Visit the API settings for your Pipedream workspace.
  2. Click the New OAuth Client button.
  3. Name your client and click Create.
  4. Copy the client secret. It will not be accessible again. Click Close.
  5. Copy the client ID from the list.
Read more in the Authentication section.

OAuth scopes

You can optionally specify a scope parameter in the request body to limit the access token to specific operations. The scope parameter accepts a space-separated list of scopes. If no scope is specified, the token defaults to * (full access). Example request with scopes: 
curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/oauth/token \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "grant_type": "client_credentials",
    "client_id": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    "client_secret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
    "scope": "connect:accounts:read connect:accounts:write"
  }'
Available scopes:
