Authentication
Nimbus APIs use OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens issued by Microsoft Entra ID. Some APIs may also support subscription keys for server-to-server use.
OAuth 2.0
Use OAuth when your integration needs scoped access, end-user auditability, or application-level app roles.
| Flow | Use when | Token claim |
|---|---|---|
| Authorization code | Your application calls Nimbus on behalf of a signed-in user. | scp |
| Client credentials | Your server calls Nimbus using its own application identity. | roles |
Request only the permissions your integration needs. For API-specific scopes, see the relevant getting started guide.
Subscription Keys
The Property Search API also supports subscription key authentication. Include the key in each request:
Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
Contact Nimbus to request credentials for your integration and target environment.
