OAuth Clients API
An OAuth client represents the connection between an organization and a VCS provider. By default, you can globally access an OAuth client throughout the organization, or you can have scope access to one or more projects.
List OAuth Clients
GET /organizations/:organization_name/oauth-clients
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
:organization_name | The name of the organization. |
This endpoint allows you to list VCS connections between an organization and a VCS provider (GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab) for use when creating or setting up workspaces.
Status | Response | Reason |
---|---|---|
200 | JSON API document (type: "oauth-clients" ) | Success |
404 | JSON API error object | Organization not found |
Query Parameters
This endpoint supports pagination with standard URL query parameters. Remember to percent-encode [
as %5B
and ]
as %5D
if your tooling doesn't automatically encode URLs. If neither pagination query parameters are provided, the endpoint will not be paginated and will return all results.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
page[number] | Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return the first page. |
page[size] | Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return 20 oauth clients per page. |

Create an OAuth Client
POST /organizations/:organization_name/oauth-clients
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
:organization_name | The name of the organization that will be connected to the VCS provider. The organization must already exist in the system, and the user must have permission to manage VCS settings. (More about permissions.) |
This endpoint allows you to create a VCS connection between an organization and a VCS provider (GitHub or GitLab) for use when creating or setting up workspaces. By using this API endpoint, you can provide a pre-generated OAuth token string instead of going through the process of creating a GitHub or GitLab OAuth Application.
To learn how to generate one of these token strings for your VCS provider, you can read the following documentation:
- GitHub and GitHub Enterprise
- GitLab, GitLab Community Edition, and GitLab Enterprise Edition
- Azure DevOps Server
