API Workflow

Workflow

The SAP Fieldglass REST API resource allows clients to send and receive integrated data directly against the application. The API uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization. SAP Fieldglass supports common OAuth 2.0 scenarios such as those for Web server, installed, and client-side applications.

To begin, you must obtain OAuth 2.0 client credentials - see Obtaining OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials. Next, your client application requests an access token from the SAP Fieldglass Authorization Server, extracts a token from the response, and then sends the token to the SAP Fieldglass REST API that you want to access.

All applications follow a basic pattern when accessing an SAP Fieldglass REST API using OAuth 2.0.

The following diagram illustrates the API authentication and authorization workflow.
