Authentication Overview

Palactix uses a Bring Your Own OAuth (BYO) model.

Instead of using shared platform credentials, you authenticate using your own developer apps and generate a Palactix access token.

How Authentication Works

1. You create a developer app in Palactix
2. You add your platform OAuth credentials
3. You generate an API access token
4. You use that token to call Palactix APIs

Bring Your Own OAuth (BYO)

Palactix does not provide platform OAuth apps.

You must use your own:

• Meta App (Instagram / Facebook)
• LinkedIn App
• X (Twitter) App
• TikTok App

Why this matters

• You own your client relationships
• Your branding appears on consent screens
• No vendor lock-in
• Platform limits are isolated to your app

Access Token

All API requests require a Bearer token.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

What This Token Represents

The access token is issued for:

• Your developer app
• Your app’s admin user

It is used to:

• Generate OAuth links
• Fetch connected accounts
• Call all Palactix APIs

Important Notes

• Tokens are long-lived
• Generating a new token revokes old tokens
• Tokens are scoped to your app
