OAuth Clients

OAuth clients allow external applications to access the Spice.ai API on behalf of your organization using standard OAuth 2.0 flows.

Creating an OAuth Client

1. Navigate to your organization's Settings and select OAuth Clients.

2. Click Create Client.

3. Fill in the required fields:

   • Name: A descriptive name for the client (e.g. "CI Pipeline" or "Internal Dashboard").

   • Description (optional): A brief description of what the client is used for.

   • Scopes: Select the permissions the client needs. Follow the principle of least privilege—only grant scopes the client requires.

4. Click Create.

After creation, a Client ID and Client Secret are displayed. Copy and securely store the client secret immediately—it cannot be retrieved later.

Treat the client secret like a password. Do not commit it to source control or share it in plaintext.

Managing OAuth Clients

Organization administrators can view and delete OAuth clients from the OAuth Clients settings page.

• View clients: See all registered clients, their scopes, and creation dates.

• Delete a client: Revokes access for all tokens issued to that client. This action cannot be undone.

Available Scopes

Scopes control what actions an OAuth client can perform. When creating a client, select only the scopes required for its intended use.

Security Best Practices

• Rotate client secrets periodically.

• Audit active clients regularly and remove any that are no longer needed.

• Use descriptive names so clients are easy to identify and manage.
