The Nextdoor APIs use the OAuth 2.0 protocol to authorize API requests.
Please apply for access and the Nextdoor Partnerships team will provide client_id and client_secret credentials that will be used to get an access token.
Once you have the client_id and client_secret, you must get a Bearer token to access Nextdoor APIs. Add a new header with client_id:client_secretwhen requesting the access token.
The token service will return the Bearer token with the expiration time.
The value of scope varies depending on which API you are trying to integrate.
