Restream API Authentication (OAuth 2.0)

The Restream API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Your application redirects the user to Restream to grant access, receives an authorization code, and exchanges it for an access token used to call protected endpoints.

Read the Authentication Overview for the full walkthrough, including scopes and token lifetimes.
