Verified steps

  1. Register your application in the Clever developer dashboard and configure the redirect URI and requested scopes
  2. Redirect the user to Clever's OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint with client_id, redirect_uri, response_type=code, and scope=read:user_id
  3. On callback, exchange the authorization code for a bearer token via POST to Clever's token endpoint using client_id and client_secret
  4. Use the bearer token to GET https://api.clever.com/v3.0/me to retrieve the authenticated user's Clever id, type, and district id
  5. Look up or create the corresponding user account in your application using the Clever id as the authoritative external identifier
  6. Establish a session for the user and redirect them to the appropriate landing page based on their role (student, teacher, district admin)
