API Authentication Guide

Central Dispatch APIs provides two authorization flows to secure your API requests:

Authorization Code Flow

Choose this flow when:

  • Your application needs to access API resources on behalf of a Central Dispatch customer.
  • You need customer-specific permissions and access.
  • For Software Providers/3rd party clients with CRM systems.

Client Credentials Flow

Choose this flow when:

  • Making server-to-server API calls.
  • Your application needs to access API resources directly.
