Implicit

Use the Implicit grant type for pure browser-based applications. This grant type only returns an access token and expiration time.

Note

In most cases, you should avoid using the Implicit grant type for automation as it requires your user to log in to get an access token.

Request an access token

During the log in process, the Implicit grant type redirects your user to a Trustpilot owned website where they are authenticated and return with a parameter containing an access token and expiration time.

Method: GET https://authenticate.trustpilot.com

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
client_id	Required string	The API key
redirect_uri	Required string	The client’s site URL. The URL in your app where you want your user to be redirected to after authorization. The redirect_uri must be https.
response_type	Required string	Value must be set to token

Example

https://authenticate.trustpilot.com?client_id=APIKey&redirect_uri=https://www.clientsSite.com&response_type=token

Redirects back to

https://www.clientsSite.com/#access_token=AccessToken&token_type=bearer&expires_in=359999

The access_token parameter is stored behind the fragment and is available to client side scripting.
