Authorization Code Grant Flow Overview

Показать описание
We use APIs rather than raw databases so we can control who gets to see what data when and where. The OAuth Authorization Code Grant allows us to combine the security allowed for an App with the security rules allowed for a User. This video gives a quick look at how a person, app, API and Identity service all interact together in that flow.

can you confirm, token call is happening at backend or frontend via browser?

I am still fairly new to OAuth so I'm still wrapping my head around the concept of oauth clients. In your diagram, would the App be considered the oauth client or would it be the API server?

I'm confused because the App would be the one consuming the token and making requests to access protected resources for the user, but the API server here is the one exchanging the auth code for tokens.

I am confused.
What is the API here ?
Is it part of the Identity/Authorization setup?
Or is it the server counterpart of the App.
