Third-party applications use the Oracle Commerce Cloud Service RESTful web services API to provide integrations or extensions of the administration interface. You must register an application before it can access Oracle Commerce Cloud Service data. Registering an application automatically generates the following:
An application ID that identifies the application internally.
An application key that you use to authenticate the application.
The application key is a JSON Web Token (JWT) from the Oracle Commerce Cloud Service OAuth server. Your registered application exchanges the key for an access token as part of the authentication flow. For more information, see Use the application key for authentication.
To register an application:
On the Settings tab, click Web APIs, then click the Registered Applications tab.
Click the Register Application button.
Enter a name for the application.
Click Save.
The application ID and application key are automatically generated and the application is added to the list on the Registered Applications page.
To acquire the application key:
On the Settings tab, click Web APIs, then click the Registered Applications tab.
Click the name of the application whose key you want to get.
Click the Application Key box to reveal the key.
Copy the key and provide it to the application developer.
See Use the application key for authentication for more information.
To reset the key for a registered application:
On the Settings tab, click Web APIs, then click the Registered Applications tab.
Click the name of the application whose key you want to reset.
Click Reset.
The new application key is automatically generated. The existing application key is automatically revoked and can no longer be used to authenticate the application.
To unregister an application:
On the Settings tab, click Web APIs, then click the Registered Applications tab.
Click the name of the application you want to unregister.
Click Delete.
Click Save.
The application’s ID is removed from the system and its application key is automatically revoked.
