API Tokens

The Marketplace Platform uses API tokens to authenticate requests to the REST API . Your API token must be included in the "Authorization" HTTP header with the "Bearer" prefix for authentication. For example, the following request could be used to retrieve a list of Buyers:

GET https://api.platform.softwareone.com/public/v1/accounts/buyers
Authorization: Bearer {TOKEN_VALUE}

Your API keys have permissions assigned to them, so keep them secure. Do not share your secret API keys in public areas like GitHub or client-side code. All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
