Getting started

This section of the documentation is a reference to the Storefront API for Amazon Business.

Authentication

We use the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework to authenticate requests. When your Storefront account is provisioned, you will receive a pair of YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET that you need to keep for yourself. You use the YOUR_CLIENT_ID and YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET to authenticate yourself to Storefront, and receive an access token in exchange. That access token must be used in every API call you send.

caution

Never share your YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET!

Access tokens are short-lived, meaning: they expire within minutes. Once an access token expires, simply request a new access token by method described below.

For more details, see the Authentication guide.
