How to create permanent API key after authenticate by OAuth2

hoainam.nguyen

From GUI smartsheet, I can generate an API key for Rest API. But I need to build an application that authenticate user by OAuth2, then can generate a permanent API key. In my context, there is an external application call the smartsheet API with the api key that is generated at time user authenticate via OAuth2.

Hi @hoainam.nguyen

The Smartsheet API Documentation has a diagram that may help explain the OAuth2 flow:

You will need to define the Access Scopes you need to access a user's Smartsheet data, see:

https://smartsheet.redoc.ly/#section/OAuth-Walkthrough/Access-Scopes

If this hasn't helped, you could also reach out to other developers in StackOverflow.

The API Documentation (here) will be your best resource as you're building out an OAuth flow.
