What steps to take to connect local program to the Retail API?

BasvHees

Hi all, Im an intern and was asked to make a connection to the Retail API. Now I have 'read the API documentation and am still stuck on where to begin. I need to know the steps to take to get to the point where I have an access token with refresh token in the same response. Can I get to this point only by backend code?

Why do I need to do this? One of our clients requested that we connect to them through Lightspeed Retail as wel (We are already connected to Lightspeed E-commerce). So in order to give the client the most out of our platform we wish to connect to Lightspeed Retail as well.

Any advice/tips on what to do would be much aprreciated!

Thanks in advance!
