How to get OSRAM Lightity ClientID and secret?

Question

I have an OSRAM Lightify light and a bridge. I am able to operate the light operations using the OSRAM Lightify mobile application. OSRAM provides API support for controlling the light operations. I need to get the authorization code for using the below curl command.

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://na.lightify-api.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=cb515518-1b27- 
45da-9821-b86b1c4264b&state= 
{{state}}&redirect_uri=http://your.server.com/&response_type=code'

I am stuck with the client_id. How can I get the client_id and secret? The Lightify documentation is available at Osram Lightify API doc

Answer 1

As per OSRAM Lightify Public API

In order to call the API endpoints you will need a set of valid client_id and secret_id.

North America (NA) developers go to https://na-developers.lightify-api.com

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) developers go to https://emea-developers.lightify-api.com

You will need a Lightify account in the region (NA or EMEA) to register as a developer.

Answer 2

Your Lightify account username and password should be sufficient to get you into the developers API area.

There you can create a new client which will generate your client ID and password.

The new process (since 4/1/2018) is oAuth2, so you'll need to set up a receiving page on a server to get the access code from the login process, then use that to get the token you'll need for command requests.
