OAuth PKCE

Users can connect to Glama Gateway in one click using Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE).

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Direct your user to authorization URL

Redirect your user to the following URL:

https://glama.ai/oauth/authorize?callback_url=YOUR_SITE_URL

Using S256 `code_challenge`

Include these parameters in the URL:

code_challenge=CODE_CHALLENGE
code_challenge_method=S256

Generate the code_challenge using S256:

import crypto from "node:crypto";

const generateCodeVerifier = () => {
  return crypto.randomBytes(256).toString('base64url');
}

const sha256CodeChallenge = (input: string) => {
  return crypto.createHash("sha256").update(input).digest("base64url");
}

const codeVerifier = generateCodeVerifier();
const codeChallenge = sha256CodeChallenge(codeVerifier);

Store the value of codeVerifier and use it in the Step 2.

Example:

https://glama.ai/oauth/authorize?callback_url=YOUR_SITE_URL&code_challenge=CODE_CHALLENGE&code_challenge_method=S256

Step 2: Exchange the authorization code for an API key

After the user logs in, they will be redirected back to your site with an authorization code included in the URL as a query parameter. Use this code to exchange it for a user-controlled API key.

fetch("https://glama.ai/api/gateway/v1/auth/exchange-code", {
  method: "POST",
  body: JSON.stringify({
    code: "<CODE_FROM_QUERY_PARAM>",
    code_verifier: "<CODE_VERIFIER>",
    code_challenge_method: "<CODE_CHALLENGE_METHOD>"
  })
});

Step 3: Use the API key

The API key will be returned in the response under the key apiKey. Store it securely and use it to authenticate requests against Glama's OpenAI-compatible gateway:

fetch("https://glama.ai/api/gateway/openai/v1/chat/completions", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer <GLAMA_API_KEY>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, World!"}
    ]
  })
});

You can use libraries compatible with the OpenAI API, such as openai (for JavaScript) or openai (for Python).
