Authentication Overview

Introduction

AppZen’s external APIs support API key-based authentication (OAuth1.0).

OAuth ("Open Authorization") provides clients a "secure delegated access" to server resources. It uses the customer_id and API key combination to allow access to the public APIs.

Authentication for these APIs is done based on the following fields provided by AppZen:

1. customer_id: You will be provided with a unique value for this field.
2. x-api-key: You will be provided with a unique value for this field. 
3. customer-key: You will be provided with a unique value for this field.

Autonomous AP APIs also support OAuth 2.0, and you can generate OAuth 2.0 credentials yourself. In the left navigation, click Integrations > API credentials, click Add New Credentials, and then select Autonomous AP as the product. For steps, see Configure API Credentials.

Testing API Keys

Once you receive the keys you can run the following curl command to test the API.

"curl --location --request GET 
'https://api.appzen.com/dictionary-data-services/generate-upload-url' \ 
--header 'customer-id: {{customer id}}' \ 
--header 'customer-key: {{customer key}}' \ 
--header 'x-api-key: {{x-api-key}}' \ 
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'

If all the fields are correct, then you will receive a response with Status Code 200 OK.
