`league/oauth2-server` is a a standards compliant implementation of an [OAuth 2.0](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749) authorization server written in PHP which makes working with OAuth 2.0 trivial. You can easily configure an OAuth 2.0 server to protect your API with access tokens, or allow clients to request new access tokens and refresh them.

It supports out of the box the following grants:

* Authorization code grant
* Implicit grant
* Client credentials grant
* Resource owner password credentials grant
* Refresh grant

This library was created by Alex Bilbie. Find him on Twitter at [@alexbilbie](https://twitter.com/alexbilbie).

The following versions of PHP are supported:

* PHP 5.5 (>=5.5.9)
* PHP 5.6
* PHP 7.0
