Creating an OAuth App

You can create an OAuth App under your account. Only you can change its credentials or delete an OAuth app to revoke its access.

Use cases

Some of the most common uses for this feature include:

  • OAuth apps allow you to make authorized requests to the Crowdin API.
  • OAuth apps are often used as a single sign-on service. You can allow users to sign in to your service with their Crowdin accounts.

Adding a New Application

To add a new application, follow these steps:

  1. In the upper-right corner, click on your profile picture and select Settings. Account Settings
  2. Switch to the OAuth Applications tab and click New Application. OAuth Apps Section
  3. In the appeared dialog, specify the following information:
    • Name and Description – (optional) will be displayed to users when they authorize the app to access their Crowdin accounts.
    • Authorization callback URLs – the URLs to which users will be sent after they authorize with Crowdin. You can add multiple URLs separated by commas (no need to use quotes).
    • Select the access your app needs from the list of available Scopes.
  4. Click Create.

Note: By default, newly created OAuth apps are restricted to the app owner’s Crowdin projects. To make them available Crowdin-wide, [Contact Support Team](https://crowdin.com/contacts) with the respective request.
