Authentication

Access to Monotype capabilities requires authorized authentication. Follow the steps below to obtain your credentials and complete authentication.

1. Retrieve Client Credentials

   Before you can authenticate, you need a Client ID and Client Secret. Request these from your Monotype partner contact. Before development begins, confirm:
    

   1. Platform credentials have been issued
       
   2. Required permissions are enabled for your intended capabilities
       
   3. Your platform's callback address is registered (required for user-level access)
       

2. Complete Authentication

   Monotype supports two authentication patterns: 
    

   1. Platform-level access - Background operations — inventory sync, usage reporting, tag management
       
   2. User-level access - Accessing a specific user's Monotype font library and collections

Most integrations use both.
