  1. Security schemes

Security scheme in online documentation

How Security Schemes Are Shown in Online Documentation#

Apidog automatically displays the auth method (security scheme) for each endpoint in the online documentation. This helps users easily identify how to authenticate their requests.
Single Security Scheme

Multiple Security Schemes

How OAuth 2.0 Security Scheme Appears in Documentation#

If an endpoint uses OAuth 2.0, the documentation provides more detailed information, including:
Grant Type
Related URLs (Authorize URL, Token URL, etc.)
Available scopes with descriptions
Required Scopes for the endpoint

How to Debug Endpoints in Online Documentation#

To protect user data, Apidog separates the auth method from the auth credentials. This means that even if the default auth values are set at the folder or endpoint level, they wonโ€™t be applied automatically during online debugging. Youโ€™ll need to enter the credentials manually.
1
Go to the online API documentation.
2
Click Try it to open the endpoint debugging panel. In the Auth section, enter the required auth credentials.
3
These credentials will be used for requests sent from the current endpoint.
