Steps
Create an 'Application' in the Xibo CMS Applications page to obtain a clientId and clientSecret
Choose a grant type enabled for that application: client_credentials for machine-to-machine, or access_code to authorize a user
Request a token from the authorization server at /api/authorize/access_token (or initiate /api/authorize/ for the access_code flow) using grant_type, clientId, clientSecret
Include the token on every subsequent call as 'Authorization: Bearer <access_token>' against the CMS's own /api base — each Xibo install is self-hosted, so the host is the customer's CMS domain, not a shared endpoint
Call display-management endpoints (e.g. /api/display, /api/displaygroup) discoverable via the instance's live /swagger.json to list, edit, and authorize displays
Known gotchas
There is no single global Xibo API host — the CMS API lives on each customer's own hosted/self-hosted CMS URL; account.xibosignage.com docs are generic concepts only
Full endpoint reference (fields, required params) is only available via the live Swagger UI/JSON per CMS version, not the static docs site
An access_token from the access_code grant is scoped to that CMS user's permissions, so results are filtered accordingly rather than full-admin by default
