How to start

sjredo21

Hello, we're trying to start using the API, but we're asked for many required fields but no explaining on how to get them:

From:

https://redoc.lsk.lightspeed.app/#section/Authentication

Authorization Overview

Obtaining an access token using the OAuth2 authorization code grant flow consists of three steps:

1. Authorization Request

• In a browser window, the end user is directed to the Lightspeed authorization URL (see Endpoints table)
• The following query parameters must be passed in the URL:
• response_type (required) - must be code for the authorization code grant
• client_id (required) - the unique identifier of the OAuth client
• scope (required) - the access scopes being requested, space delimited (URL encoded)
• redirect_uri (required) - the URL that the user will be redirected to after authenticating and authorizing the integration
• state (optional) - a unique string supplied by the external client that is persisted throughout the process to track the request

where do we get the client_id, and redirect_url fields from?

Thanks!

Hello,

The client_id is emailed to you when creating your API client.

You need to provide the redirect_uri when you ask for the API client creation, it's the URL used after the merchant authentication.

Please be aware that the K-series API is currently closed to everyone except for partners. If you're not a partner and would like to request access, please contact your account manager.

Thank you.

Thank you, I have been writing back and forth with support. Where can I create an API client? What kind of user or permissions do I need for that. So far I can login (Web-UI) but I have no possibility to actually create api credentials. And your support is not able to help me.
