# REST API quick start
## Authentication
### Get client
Some endpoints need authentication. We use OAuth 2.0 so first fetch the client tokens:
```bash
$ curl https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/oauth-clients/local
```
Response example:
```json
{
"client_id": "v1ikx5hnfop4mdpnci8nsqh93c45rldf",
"client_secret": "AjWiOapPltI6EnsWQwlFarRtLh4u8tDt"
}
```
### Get user token
Now you can fetch the user token:
```bash
$ curl -X POST \
-d "client_id=v1ikx5hnfop4mdpnci8nsqh93c45rldf&client_secret=AjWiOapPltI6EnsWQwlFarRtLh4u8tDt&grant_type=password&response_type=code&username=your_user&password=your_password" \
https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/users/token
```
Response example:
```json
{
"access_token": "90286a0bdf0f7315d9d3fe8dabf9e1d2be9c97d0",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 14399,
"refresh_token": "2e0d675df9fc96d2e4ec8a3ebbbf45eca9137bb7"
}
```
Just use the `access_token` in the `Authorization` header:
```bash
$ curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer 90286a0bdf0f7315d9d3fe8dabf9e1d2be9c97d0' https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/jobs/completed
```
### List videos
```bash
$ curl https://peertube.example.com/api/v1/videos
```
