# Authentication
Learn how to authenticate with the Aries API using OAuth2 and manage access
tokens in your SDK.
## Overview
The Aries API uses **OAuth2 with Bearer tokens** (JWT format) for
authentication. All API requests require a valid access token in the
`Authorization` header:
```
Authorization: Bearer
```
## Providing Client ID and Client Secret (SDK)
When using the generated SDK, provide your **Client ID** and **Client
Secret** when you create the API client (e.g. in the constructor or security
options). The SDK will use these to obtain and refresh the access token
internally; you do not need to manage tokens yourself.
Obtain your OAuth2 credentials from the Aries platform (e.g. Client Center /
Manage Account at https://app.aries.com):
- **Client ID** – Your application identifier (pass to SDK client)
- **Client Secret** – Your application secret key (pass to SDK client; use
PKCE for public clients where secret cannot be stored)
## Authentication Flow
### 1. Authorization Code Flow
For server-side or confidential clients:
1. **Redirect the user** to the authorization URL to sign in and consent:
- **URL:** `https://app.aries.com/oauth2/authorize`
- **Query params:** `response_type=code`, `client_id`, `redirect_uri`, `scope`, `state`
2. **Exchange the code for tokens** (after user is redirected back with
`?code=.`):
- **POST** `https://api.aries.com/v1/oauth2/token`
- **Body:** `grant_type=authorization_code`, `code`, `redirect_uri`, `client_id`, `client_secret`
- Response includes `access_token` and `refresh_token`
3. **Call the API** with the access token: `Authorization: Bearer
`
### 2. PKCE Flow
For SPAs and mobile apps (public clients that cannot store `client_secret`):
1. Generate a **code_verifier** (random string) and **code_challenge** =
BASE64URL(SHA256(code_verifier)).
2. **Redirect the user** to `https://app.aries.com/oauth2/authorize` with
`code_challenge`, `code_challenge_method=S256`, plus `client_id`,
`redirect_uri`, `scope`, `state`.
3. **Exchange the code** at POST `https://api.aries.com/v1/oauth2/token`
with `grant_type=authorization_code`, `code`, `redirect_uri`, `client_id`,
`code_verifier` (no client_secret).
4. Use the returned `access_token` as Bearer.
### 3. MFA Verification
If the user has MFA enabled, the authorize step may return `is_mfa: true`
and a `next_step_auth_id`. Call **POST**
`https://api.aries.com/v1/oauth2/authorize/mfa` with `next_step_auth_id` and
`verification_code` (6-digit code). Then continue with **POST**
`/v1/oauth2/authorize/confirm` to get the authorization code, and exchange
it at `/v1/oauth2/token`.
## Token Management
- **Refresh when expired:** POST `https://api.aries.com/v1/oauth2/token`
with `grant_type=refresh_token`, `client_id`, `client_secret`,
`refresh_token`.
- **Using a Bearer token directly:** If you already have an access token,
set the header `Authorization: Bearer ` on every request. The
SDK can accept a pre-obtained token and use it until it expires.
## OAuth2 Scopes
Request only the scopes your application needs. Available scopes:
| Scope | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `user:information` | View user profile and personal details |
| `account:information` | View account balances, positions, and transaction
history |
| `order:execution` | Place, modify, and cancel orders |
| `order:information` | View order history and status |
| `position:information` | View current positions and holdings |
| `market:information` | Access live and historical market data |
| `calendar:information` | Access earnings, economic, and market schedule
data |
| `options:information` | Access options chains and expiration data |
| `analytics:information` | View analytics, ratings, and market insights |
| `market:supplemental` | News, company profiles, financials, filings, ETF
data, technical analysis |
Specify multiple scopes as a space-separated string, e.g.
`account:information order:execution market:information`.
## Security Best Practices
- **Store credentials securely** – Use environment variables or a secrets
manager for `client_id` and `client_secret`. Never hardcode them.
- **Handle token expiration** – Check for 401 responses and refresh the
token using the refresh_token, then retry the request.
- **Use HTTPS** – All authorization and token endpoints must be called over
HTTPS.
- **Validate state** – When using the authorization code flow, validate the
`state` parameter on the callback to prevent CSRF.
## Error Handling
- **400 Bad Request** – Invalid or missing parameters, validation failures,
or malformed JSON. Response bodies follow the same patterns as other errors
(flat `error` string, optional `codes`, nested `error` object, or rarely no
body).
- **401 Unauthorized** – Invalid or expired access token; refresh the token
or re-authenticate. JSON bodies are not identical on every route: you may
see a flat `error` string (sometimes with `codes`), a nested `error` object
(`type`, `code`, `message`), or rarely an empty body
- **403 Forbidden** – Insufficient scope or permissions for the requested
resource. Error JSON may be flat or nested, like 400/401.
- **404 Not Found** – Resource does not exist or is not visible. Error JSON
may be flat or nested.
- **429 Too Many Requests** – Rate limit exceeded; slow down and respect
`Retry-After` when the header is present. Error JSON may be flat or nested.
- **500 / 5xx** – Server or upstream failure; retry with backoff. Do not
depend on a single error JSON shape; some responses may have no body.

**Backend (shared HTTP errors):** Routes that use the shared error
writer typically return a **nested** JSON object: `error.type` is an
uppercase category such as `VALIDATION` or `BAD_REQUEST` (see the API
implementation). Other routes may return the **flat** `ErrorResponse`
shape (`error` as a string, optional `codes`). The body may rarely be
empty.
**OpenAPI:** Every operation’s **400** response references this
component so the documented schema and examples stay aligned.

**Response body variants:** Some routes return JSON with a string
`error` field (and optionally `codes` / `metadata`). Others return JSON
where `error` is a structured object (`type`, `code`, `message`, and
optionally `details`, `request_id`). In edge cases (for example certain
gateway or middleware paths) the response may have **no body** even
though the status is 401—clients should treat 401 as unauthenticated and
refresh or re-authenticate regardless of body shape.
