I2Rest Client

i2Rest-client is a native IBM i tool for web communications via http/https requests. It was intended to extend IBM i api functionality with http client functions. And more tnan this, with provided by I2rest-client Oauth 2.0 flows your IBM i api could have access to any OpenApi service. Depending on your needs I2rest-client can provide four request authorization scenaries:

Basic access authentication

Oauth2 CLient Credentials flow

Oauth2 Device flow
