How to get client_id, client secret, and security token?

Hello Experts,
I have registered my app. Could you please help in letting me know how to get:
1. client_id,
2. client secret, and
3. security token

I am trying to implement Oauth pragramatically so that I can use REST API.

Could you please help.

Thanks,
Rakesh

You can get the client Id and Client Secret from the UI and you need to hard code them into your application either as config setting or some constant that can be easily changed. 


If you navigate to Create --> Apps --> you can see connected apps, click on it and you can see consumer key and consumer secret.

For the security token you can get the token via email when you go to my settings --> personal --> reset my securitty token.

@logontokartik : I got my security token by following the steps suggested by you. Many Thanks! I am still not able to see my consumer key and consumer secret.

i want to do some testing with salesforce api but I cannot find clientID and secret keys  in my connectedapps section. I am just using a free trail version. Is it not possible from the free version ? Why is it not showing anything

Can somebody answer this query clearly. Because i find salesforce UI is complicated enough not to give out these information for some unknown reason. I might've explored the whole application i can't find it either.

There is nowhere to navigate Create --> Apps, not in Lightning or Classic.

Exhausted plausible locations. You need a page with this information on, and to reference it in your documentation

Hi,
Consumer key and consumer secret (previously client_id and client secret) can be found for connected apps whose Enable OAuth Settings checkbox is checked.

Firstly Now you know all about Subway Surfers Mod APK (#)(latest version, the previous version, older version, new version), but still, you didn’t know how to download the game and show your gameplay (what you learn from here). finally didn’t get worried, ApkSword is always with you to get out of that type of situation. To download the game, just follow our below steps:

They added a little extra step so now the flow is this:

1.) go to Setup > PLATFORM TOOLS > Apps > App Manager
2.) find your connected app
3.) click the little twistie at the end of the line and chose "view"

4.) under "API (Enable OAuth Settings)" find the button that says "Manage Consumer Details"
