SoFurry uses OAuth 2.0 to provide authorized access to its API.

Features
- Secure:
- Users are not required to share their passwords with 3rd party applications, increasing account security.
- Standard:
- A wealth of client libraries and example code are compatible with SoFurry's OAuth implementation.
- Easy:
- Using OAuth is easy for both users and developers. All a user has to do to grant access to a certain application is to click on the "Authorize" button on SoFurry when asked.
Authorization types (Grant types)
SoFurry supports multiple grant types:
- Authorization code
- Client credentials
- User credentials
Though, to provide better security, only the "Authorization code" and "Client credential" type can be used by 3rd-party developers.
Furthermore, SoFurry also supports refresh tokens.
