Is it possible to create webhooks using 2-legged authentication without prompting user authentication (3-legged)?

dfd df . Oct 02, 2023

A:

Three legged doesn't imply a specific type of app like browser based. Three-legged means that the application acts directly on behalf of the user. There are three legged scenarios

  • Application (Client),
  • User (resource owner) and
  • API (Service Provider).

In two-legged scenarios the user has no idea. Typically, this relates to application-to-application solutions. The application (client) acts on its own behalf. So, in a two-legged OAuth, there is:

  • Application (Client),
  • API (Service Provider)

The only difference is that the 2-legged approach does not require a user authorization step.
