   • In the application details page, you'll find your Client ID and Client Secret.

5. Use the OAuth Application:

   • To use the OAuth application, you'll need to follow the OAuth authorization flow, which involves redirecting users to Basecamp's authorization endpoint and obtaining an access token.
   • Refer to Basecamp's API documentation for detailed instructions on implementing the OAuth flow and making API requests.

Remember to keep your Client Secret secure and never expose it publicly.

That's it! You have successfully created a development account and OAuth application in Basecamp.
