Tokens are API access keys. They are used for authorization during API requests.
Tokens allow you to restrict access to user data using the scope parameter.
It defines the scope of visibility for your application. A token with scope=friends gives access to friends and nothing
else. The token becomes less dangerous than the login and password.
The token can be obtained directly from the browser. To do this, you just need to click on the correct link. How to make the right link:
Applications are created on the page with your applications. Give the application a clear name so that in the future it is easy to remember why it was created.
Go back to the page with your applications. Click on the "Edit" button next to the desired application. His id will appear in the field "App ID".
Example of a link from the Implicit Flow documentation:
https://oauth.vk.com/authorize?client_id=1&display=page&scope=friends&response_type=token&v=5.92&state=123456
- leave response_type and display the same as in the example.
- you got the client_id in the second step.
- v take from the page with API versions. Choose the most recent one.
- select scope "friends" for the script to work correctly
You will get an access_token string like 533bacf01e1165b57531ad114461ae8736d6506a3. It will appear in the address bar, signed as access_token. If code= appears in the address bar instead of access_token=, check that the response_type parameter is correct.
