ZenZap OAuth API

OAuth 2.0 `client_credentials` grant. Used by API-key bots that were created with `credentialType: oauth` to mint short-lived bearer access tokens.**In a nutshell:**1. Get a `clientId` and `clientSecret` from your bot in the Zenzap admin console. The `clientSecret` is shown once at creation; if lost, rotate it from the same screen.2. `POST /oauth/token` with `grant_type=client_credentials` to receive a JWT access token (1-hour TTL).3. Call any `/v2/*` endpoint with `Authorization: Bearer `. No `X-Signature` / `X-Timestamp` headers are needed on the OAuth path.4. Re-mint when the token expires. There is **no refresh token**.Scopes are granular per endpoint — see the [Authentication page](/api-reference/authentication#oauth-scopes) for the full scope catalog and the endpoint → scope mapping.

Authentication & Security 3

ZenZap OAuth API declares 3 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (bearerAuth). An API key is passed in the header as X-Signature (hmacSignature). It supports OAuth 2.0 (oauth2ClientCredentials) using the clientCredentials flow, exposing 12 scopes. By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • bearerAuth — Bearer token for the request. Two flavors: - Static API key — pass your API key (the value returned as apiKey when the bot was created). Must be paired with X-…
  • hmacSignature — HMAC-SHA256 signature for request verification. Required only when authenticating with a static API key. Omit when using an OAuth access token.
  • oauth2ClientCredentials — OAuth 2.0 clientcredentials grant for API-key bots. Use the clientId and clientSecret returned when the bot was created (or rotated) to mint short-lived access…
