Connect to Experience Cloud Sites

To use OAuth to connect to an Experience Cloud site, use the full path to the site URL.

To connect to an Experience Cloud site, use the OAuth web server and user-agent workflows.

To authenticate a user using the authorize URL, replace the MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com host name with the full path to the site URL. This URL example is the non-site URL.
1https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/authorize?
2response_type=token&client_id=your_app_id&redirect_uri=your_redirect_uris
This URL example is the site URL.
1https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/services/oauth2/authorize?
2response_type=token&client_id=your_app_id&redirect_uri=your_redirect_uri
When implemented successfully, this URL directs users to your app’s branded login page. After they authorize the app, set a user access token and a refresh token for future authentication. In requests for the token endpoint, replace the host with the site. 
1https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/services/oauth2/token
To request a Connect REST API resource, use the site URL and specify the site ID.
1https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/services/data/v29.0/connect

1https://MyDomainName.my.site.com/sitepath/services/data/v29.0/connect
