Create API Credentials

The primary purpose of creating API credentials is to enable secure and controlled access to the functionalities offered by the API, allowing developers to integrate their systems with external services.

In SAPIENT, you can create you own API credentials with which you can track usage, manage permissions effectively, and protect your data from unauthorised access.

To create new API credentials, follow the instructions as explained in the following procedure.

1. Log in to the SAPIENT platform using your credentials.

2. On the Home page that opens, in the left navigation panel, select API > Credentials.

3. On the API Credentials page that appears, select the Create API Credentials button.

📘

Note

You are only required to create these credentials the first time you log in.

4. In the Create API Credentials dialog that opens, enter a brief memorable name for your API credential and select Create.

5. In the API Credentials dialog that appears, copy the generated Client ID and Secret.

🚧

Important

Make sure you copy the Secret and keep it safe as we do not store this anywhere within the application and you are not able to see it again. If you lose the secret, you are required to create a new set of credentials.

6. After copying the client ID and secret, select Close.

Once done, the new API credentials are created successfully and appear in the CURRENT API CREDENTAILS table of the API Credentials page. You can now use these credentials when initiating an API request to authenticate each call made to the API.
