Dr Crono OAuth Integration
Connect Dr Crono to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.
Each user connects their own Dr Crono account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the Dr Crono API. What your integration does with that access is up to your code.
How Pathfix helps
- 01
OAuth authorization
Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your Dr Crono OAuth app, so users approve access on Dr Crono’s own consent screen.
- 02
Token management
Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.
- 03
Token refresh
Where Dr Crono issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.
- 04
Authenticated API passthrough
Your application sends Dr Crono API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Dr Crono.
You own the Dr Crono OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
