no way to connect non-interactively / client_credentials Oauth flow?
no way to connect non-interactively / client_credentials Oauth flow?

Generally, automated systems use client_credentials Oauth 2.0 to gain Authorisation Codes. However looking at your instructions here,
indicate Open API supports Authentication Flow, which is for interactive web based user experiences.
So Does OpenAI Support client_credentials, and if not how do you propose automated systems connect? Or is open API not designed for automated systems, and I should be looking at other APIs?

Hi there,
It is not very clear to me what are you looking for but if you are looking to bypass the OAuth authentication, you can generate your own tokens from the Playground area.

its not normal for an API to have an interactive user step. Oauth 2.0 has a version called client_credentials which allow programs to log on without human intervention. Support for this is what I am looking for. But because you dont have it, i can't use Open API. And so I will just use the FIX API.
you could suggest this to your openapi programmers.

Hi there,

That's the absolutely normal thing to do. The whole point of open authentication is for users to be able to use your application without sharing their credentials with you. Of course there is an option to bypass this but the developers decided not to provide it for obvious reasons. If your application is not targeting other users, then you can just get a token manually, there is no need to use credentials to login.
