 {{DISPLAYTITLE:i2Rest Client}}
 i2Rest Client is a native IBM i tool for web communications via http/https requests. It was intended to extend IBM i interactive green screen and batch functionality with http client functions. i2Rest Client takes on all the difficulties associated with interaction between your programs and all the outside world - from providing transport functions to implementing various authentication and authorization scenarios (like OAuth2.0 flows), which allows your IBM i to have access to almost any web service.

 ;OAuth2 Device flow
 :Device flow is a flow for those devices (like IBM i) that are not capable to perform a user-agent based authorization. This authorization flow client instructs (by providing an authorization URL) the user to review the authorization request on a secondary device with suitable input and browser capabilities to perform the user interaction.  [[Device_flow_description|How]] to use i2Rest Client Device flow, typical use cases -  [[i2Rest_Client_Usecases#OAuth2_Device_flow|here]].

 ;OAuth2 Authorization Code flow using i2Rest bridge mode
-:Authorization Code flow allows an application to obtain an access token (which is a permition to deal with protected user data on remote resource) by exchanging an authorization code for it. In it turn, the authorization code is provided to the application by the authorization server by redirecting the user agent to redirection URI with the authorization code attached. IBM i is not capable of interacting with the resource owner's user-agent (typically a web browser) and is not capable of receiving incoming requests via redirection, so original Authorization Code flow isn't possible using i2Rest Client only. Nevertheless i2Rest Client together with i2Rest Server bridge can do some trick to reproduce this authorization scenario with the same result for the end user. Please look under the hood of [[Authorization_Code_flow_description|Authorization Code flow using i2Rest bridge mode]]. Some use cases are [[I2Rest_Client_Usecases#Oauth2_Client_Credentials_flow|here]].
