Authentication

How To Get An Access Token

To access the Myriad Order API using 2-legged OAuth 2.0, you will need to follow a specific set of steps. Two-legged OAuth, also known as client credentials grant, allows your application to obtain an access token directly without user involvement. Here's a step-by-step guide to get an access token for the Myriad Order API:

1. Prerequisite:

• You will need a "Client ID", "Client Secret" and “Scope” provided by Myriad Genetics. These credentials will be used to authenticate your application.

2. Get an Access Token Using cURL:

You can use cURL (a command-line tool) to make an HTTP POST request to Myriad's token endpoint to obtain an access token. Replace the placeholders ({clientId} and {clientSecret}) with your specific information.

curl -X POST "https://myriad.okta.com/oauth2/ausqm6yrog9OXpHL7356/v1/token" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
-d "client_id={clientId}" \
-d "client_secret={clientSecret}" \
-d "scope=device"

• {clientId}: Replace this with your Myriad application's Client ID.
• {clientSecret}: Replace this with your Myriad application's Client Secret.

3. Parse the Response:

When you run the cURL command, you'll receive a JSON response that includes the access token. Parse this response in your application to extract the access token.

Sample response:

{
  "access_token": "your_access_token",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "scope": "device"
}

• "access_token": This is the access token you can use to access the Myriad Order API.
• "expires_in": Indicates the expiration time of the token (in seconds).
