Is it possible to use the OAUTH token with the OGC services as a parameter to create secure services?
OGC services with OAUTH
No, this is unfortunatelly not supported due to low level of support in GIS applications.
You can however use our process API with OAuth:
Authentication
The Sentinel Hub API uses OAuth2 Authentication and requires that you have an access token to identify you.
I’m currently using the Esri JS API for other rich features. How would I be able to integrate the Sentinel JS lib with mapping APIs other than Leaflet? It would also be helpful if you can direct me to a full implementation example code for your JS library.
We have developed a JavaScript library, which we use in combination with Leaflet:
