Introduction

Before you can use CloudClient, you must follow the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow to gain access to the content stored in a user’s Verizon Personal Cloud Storage account. This is a two-step process: you must first obtain an authorization code, then exchange the authorization code for an access token and a refresh token.

NOTE: The Callback URL is case sensitive.

Authentication and Authorization API Calls

• getAuthorize - returns the authorization URL.
• getAuthorizeRedirection - redirects to the authorization URL.
• getToken - retrievesa new Access and Refresh tokens.
• loggedIn - returns true if the user is logged on.
• updateAccesToken - updates expired access token with new access token.

Authenticatind Your App

To authenticate your app,you need to update Key, Secret and callback URL in the sample/config.php file to the values that you have obtained from Key Management when you registered your app.

Code Sample

 define('clientKey', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
    define('clientSecret', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
    define('callbackUrl', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
