​
Notes

  • The OAuth flow goes through 37signals Launchpad, the parent company of Basecamp.
  • Basecamp does not use scopes. Tokens grant access to all Basecamp resources the authenticating user has permission to access.
  • See the Basecamp API documentation for more details on authentication and available endpoints.
