Connecting to the RomM API

All third-party apps communicate with RomM through its REST API. The API is fully documented and available at /api/docs (Swagger UI) or /api/redoc on your RomM instance.

​
Authentication

Most apps authenticate using one of the following methods:
  • Username and password — standard OAuth2 password flow, returns a short-lived access token and a refresh token
  • Client tokens — long-lived API tokens scoped to specific permissions, generated in Settings → API Tokens
For apps that need persistent access without storing your password, create a dedicated client token with only the scopes required by the app (typically roms.read and platforms.read).
See the Authentication guide for details on generating client tokens and managing scopes.
