First steps using the sellytics DATA API

Getting access using OAuth 2.0 and client_credentials

After receiving your sellytics OAuth2 client_id and client_secret you are able to start using the sellytics DATA API. Because the DATA API is a sub-product of sellytics where no user data is involved everything happens behalf of your own client and that’s why you have to use the client_credentials grant. We follow the OAuth2 specification and RFC6749 so the POST request to get your JWT Bearer access token should look like this one:

curl -X "POST" "https://auth.sellytics.com/uaa/oauth/token" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8' \
     -u 'client_id:client_secret' \
     --data-urlencode "grant_type=client_credentials"
