# OAuth

OAuth endpoints are a little different and work with different domains and tokens. OAuth endpoints along with OAuth Authorization are basically used for the [Tool Plugins](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/plugins/tool-plugins) and [Custom Sidebar Apps](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/plugins/space-plugins/) to interact with Management API. It is a multi step process to get the token and send a request using it.

> [!TIP]
> You can read more about the OAuth 2.0 Authorization flow [here.](https://www.storyblok.com/docs/plugins/oauth-authorization-flow)

The token for making requests from inside the custom plugins is retrieved following the OAuth flow linked above. It is not the same as the management API token.

> [!NOTE]
> Using the OAuth token you can use many other endpoints as well. You can take a look at the Management API Reference [here](/docs/api/management/getting-started/) for the same.

One important thing to note is that the domains for making these requests to oauth endpoints are different from the general Management API domain.
