Authenticating with Venly

Intro

Authenticating to Venly is done using OpenID Connect, which combines the OAuth 2.0 protocol together with a simple identity layer. We use OpenID Connect's Authorization Code Flow for our authentication and authorization.

📘

An application requires a specific Client ID to connect to our environments. This not only improves security but also allows custom branding.

You will receive a clientId that is linked to your specific domain (URI).

Only calls initiated from this whitelisted domain (in combination with the clientId) will be accepted.

Authentication code

If you provide your own implementation of bearerTokenProvider, the web3 provider will not attempt to obtain an authentication code but rather use the one provided by you.
