Protocols.io OAuth Integration

Connect Protocols.io to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.

protocols.io is a platform for sharing research methods and protocols. Each user connects their own Protocols.io account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the Protocols.io 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 Protocols.io OAuth app, so users approve access on Protocols.io’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 Protocols.io issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.

  • 04

    Authenticated API passthrough

    Your application sends Protocols.io API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Protocols.io.

You own the Protocols.io OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.

How to get started

  1. 1

    Register your app with Protocols.io

    Create an app in Protocols.io’s developer settings to get a Client ID and Client Secret. When asked for a redirect URI, enter https://labs.pathfix.com/integrate/command.

  2. 2

    Add the credentials in Pathfix

    In your Pathfix account, add an application, select Protocols.io from the providers and enter the Client ID and Client Secret.

  3. 3

    Choose your scopes

    Add only the scopes your integration needs. Protocols.io’s developer documentation lists what each scope allows.

  4. 4

    Test the connection

    Use Test Connection to connect an account in the API Playground and run a sample call.

  5. 5

    Let your users authorize

    Add the connect step to your app. Each user signs in to Protocols.io and approves the scopes you requested.

  6. 6

    Call the Protocols.io API

    Send requests through the Pathfix passthrough API using the provider reference protocolsio.
