Authentication

Step 1: Retrieve Your Client ID and Generate a Client Secret

1. Log in to your College Pipe Account.

2. Navigate to: My Organization - Profile - API.

   • Here, you will find your Client ID.

   • To generate a Client Secret, click the corresponding option to create a new one.

Step 2: Generate an Access Token

• Make a POST request to the following URL

POST https://api.collegepipe.com/oauth/token

• Include the following parameters in the request body:

grant_type=client_credentials
client_id=[Your Client ID]
client_secret=[Your Client Secret]
scope=EXTERN_API

• The response will include an access token in JSON format, similar to this:

{ "access_token": "askdfjhaskdjfhaskjdfhasdfasdfalsdkfj....", 
 "token_type": "bearer", 
 "expires_in": 299, 
 "scope": "EXTERN_API"
}

Step 3: Use the Access Token to Access College Pipe Endpoints

You can now access College Pipe's API endpoints by including the access token in the Authorization header of your requests, using the format Bearer [accessToken].

Example Request:

GET https://api.smarthlete.com/v1/athletes

Request Header:

Authorization: Bearer [accessToken]
