Xbase++ Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+
Xbase++
Uni Economy API Client Credentials Flow
See more OAuth2 Examples
Demonstrates how to do OAuth 2.0 using the client credentials flow for the Uni Economy API. (This means that the server can authenticate against the identity server without human interaction.)Chilkat Xbase++ Downloads
