Creates a new OAuth app for a Wix Headless client.

An OAuth app authorizes an external client app or site, on any platform, to authenticate with a Wix site or project and manage its data.

Note: The OAuth app secret is returned only when creating the OAuth app, and can't be retrieved later. Store the secret in a secure location.

Authentication
  • When developing websites or building an app with Blocks, this method may require elevated permissions, depending on the identity of the user calling it and the calling user’s permissions.
  • When building apps without Blocks or for headless projects, you can only call this method directly when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity. When authenticated as a different identity, you can call this method using elevation.
  • Elevation permits users to call methods they typically cannot access. Therefore, you should only use it intentionally and securely.
