Hi,

i'm trying to provide some support for some Podio workspaces and i'm using php client of Podio to implement some features. My question is related with the user that i have to use to login on the app. What do you recommend for this?

Best regards,
Tiago Pacheco

  Hi,

  i'm afraid to use a personal account to authenticate on Podio. For that reason i asked about that because it could exist some recommendations of the community to use when we need to use the API.

  Podio offers different ways to authenticate: https://developers.podio.com/authentication

  Generally speaking you should use the server-side flow when you want to authenticate as a user and app authentication when building automations that run without user interaction.

  The problem using app authentication is that i can only access to a single app. My idea is to implement some php scripts to get and process some data of my workspaces (more than one app) without using username and password on code.What do you recommend?

  I would use app authentication and switch between the different app auths as needed
