API Authentication Update - M2M accounts
Ahead of the 2025 season we are updating the AFL API's authentication module as part of a review to improve our support processes.
As part of this update, if you are using an M2M account to communicate with the AFL API, the account's credentials (the Client ID and Client Secret) will be refreshed. This requires action on your part to ensure your applications continue to have access to the AFL API.
AFL API User Accounts are not affected by this update - no changes are required.
What needs updating?
Once you have received your new Client Id & Secret (via a secure link sent by email), replace the existing values with the new ones.
In addition, the M2M token address has changed - update it to the following:
https://championdata-afl.au.auth0.com/oauth/token
When can I apply these changes?
As soon as you receive them from Champion Data - they take immediate effect.
How long do I have to make the change?
The original M2M credentials will be deactivated week commencing 10th March 2025, after the season has started.
