Our Developer Portal is a digital platform that helps to initiate and accelerate developers’ engagement with our APIs. As an external party you can access our APIs on the Developer Portal. It is designed to provide you with the tools to discover and consume our APIs, from your application.
Where to start+
You can check what to do in the first steps in this site.
How can I request for APIs for testing?+
All our APIS have their corresponding mock server to be able to test against them. For this, we use two services in SaaS mode that facilitate this publication of stubs
How do I get a token?+
The token is the credential that is needed to use an API. It’s the result of a valid call to the authorization process.Authn is a distributed authentication service built to work with our service mesh. It provides a single entry point to authenticate users against a number of third-party providers, that may have different authentication flows and requirements. Besides this, it is also responsible for JWT generation, signing and the publication of asymmetric public keys for our service mesh to validate the inbound JWTs. Once the user posses a JWT, it will be capable of reaching the resource server passing through our service mesh.
Authn will be an OAuth2 authorization server because the communications between Authn and the providers will be completely transparent as it depends on the claims that JWT's contain.
What is the procedure to test the APIs?+
The first thing you should do is review our API catalog in order to know which APIs are available. In our catalog you can see a functional overview as well as technical documentation for each API.Once you understand the API functionally, you can run tests against its mock environment that we have built in a SaaS mode service whose address is incorporated in the API reference documentation.
