Which type of REST API Client do I need?

PKB can offer you three types of client.

User Client

You need a User Client if you wish to provide a service to any registered PKB user that agrees to grant you access to their account. For example, you might be building a mobile App and wish to let patients link their PKB account to your product. If you'd like a User Client you'll need to provide PKB with a redirection URI which we will use as part of the OAuth 2.0 workflow. If a PKB user chooses to grant you permission, you will prompt them to manually enter their credentials into a PKB hosted landing page as part of the process. You will then be able to access that user's PKB account, via the REST API, using the tokens generated. When requesting a User Client, we'll agree with you which scopes (user types) you have been approved for. Any connection you make will be limited to functionality accessible by the authenticated user.
