Get Authentication

This REST API is used to get access token via Get method from the marketplace for authentication purpose. The Unicommerce sends valid user credentials in request body, which are validated by marketplace to issue an access token.

Tip

  • The access token received in response is required in Header (apiKey) in all subsequent API requests.
  • As the token is unique for each seller, this seller-token mapping helps marketplaces to identify responses for each sellers and maps the correct seller data to the api response. For instance, while using the Get Products API, the marketplace uses this token to map the respective seller catalog data and send the same in response.
