  title: CodeProject REST API
  description: >-
    CodeProject's REST API at api.codeproject.com provides read access to
    articles, forum messages, questions, and authenticated user profile data
    from the codeproject.com developer community. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0
    Bearer Tokens via Client Credentials, Authorization Code, or Implicit Grant
    flows. The "My" API set requires the Authorization Code or Implicit Grant
    flows because it accesses the signed-in user's resources, while the
    Articles, ForumMessages, and Questions endpoints can be accessed with a
    Client Credentials token. Tokens are sent in the Authorization header.
