Request Syntax

response = client.create_token(
    clientId='string',
    clientSecret='string',
    grantType='string',
    deviceCode='string',
    code='string',
    refreshToken='string',
    scope=[
        'string',
    ],
    redirectUri='string',
    codeVerifier='string'
)
Parameters:

  • clientId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The unique identifier string for the client or application. This value comes from the result of the RegisterClient API.

  • clientSecret (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    A secret string generated for the client. This value should come from the persisted result of the RegisterClient API.

  • grantType (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    Supports the following OAuth grant types: Device Code and Refresh Token. Specify either of the following values, depending on the grant type that you want:

    • Device Code - urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code

    • Refresh Token - refresh_token

    For information about how to obtain the device code, see the StartDeviceAuthorization topic.

  • deviceCode (string) – Used only when calling this API for the Device Code grant type. This short-term code is used to identify this authorization request. This comes from the result of the StartDeviceAuthorization API.

  • code (string) – Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. The short-term code is used to identify this authorization request. This grant type is currently unsupported for the CreateToken API.

  • refreshToken (string) –

    Used only when calling this API for the Refresh Token grant type. This token is used to refresh short-term tokens, such as the access token, that might expire.

    For more information about the features and limitations of the current IAM Identity Center OIDC implementation, see Considerations for Using this Guide in the IAM Identity Center OIDC API Reference.

  • scope (list) –

    The list of scopes for which authorization is requested. The access token that is issued is limited to the scopes that are granted. If this value is not specified, IAM Identity Center authorizes all scopes that are configured for the client during the call to RegisterClient.

    • (string) –

  • redirectUri (string) – Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. This value specifies the location of the client or application that has registered to receive the authorization code.

  • codeVerifier (string) – Used only when calling this API for the Authorization Code grant type. This value is generated by the client and presented to validate the original code challenge value the client passed at authorization time.
