Getting access to the Partner API
To start using our Partner API you need to acquire proper credentials as a Partner to GlobalConnect.
Here are the steps to get your credentials in place:
- Request credentials by sending an email to partner-api@globalconnect.no.
- We will verify your request and if approved you will receive an email containg your Partner level authentication credentials (to be provided in every API call via Basic authorization, header-based).
- Furthermore you will recieve an API-key you also need to use. We use MFA and will verify your call using these two separate sets of credentials. The API-key is provided as a query-parameter in your request with the name user_key. You can check the correct form for a call by using the swagger documentation.
You start your development in our sandbox environment
The credentials you receieve will give you access to the sandbox version of the API, this API offers identical functionality and usage as our production version of the API, the only difference is that the provided data is kept in a sandbox and are not real live data.
When you are ready to take your solution into production you send us a new request where you ask for production access and after we have verified your request we will send you an email with a new set of credentials for the production version of the API.
We will also provide you with the correct urls to our production version of the Partner API.
