Authentication

PeakCommerce recommends that you use OAuth to authenticate to the PeakCommerce REST API.

1. Create a dedicated user for making API calls. See Create an API User for details.
   This step must be performed by a PeakCommerce administrator of your organization and the user should be connected to an internal email address.

2. Create an OAuth client for the user. This step must be performed by an administrator.

   1. In PeakCommerce, navigate to Settings > Administration > Manage Users, and click the user name (in hypertext) that is created in step 1.

   2. In the New OAuth Client section on the user profile page, enter a client name, and click create. A new window will open showing the client ID and client secret.
