|---|---|---|
| /api/auth/v1/device | POST | Creates unique user code and a verification URI to present it on a external browser to verify the user. |

device_code- This is a long string that the device will use to eventually exchange for an access token.verification_uri- This is the URL the user needs to enter into their phone browser to start logging in.user_code- This is the text code the user will enter at the URL above.expires_in- The number of seconds that this set of values is valid. After this amount of time, thedevice_codeanduser_codewill expire and the device process will have to start over.interval- The number of seconds the device should wait between polling to see if the user has finished logging inauthentication.
Now the device needs to display the URL and User Code to the user.
...
While the device waits for the user to enter the code and log in, it will make a POST request every 5 seconds as specified by the interval returned. This POST request will be made to the /api/auth/v1/access_tokenendpoint, using a grant type of urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code
