API FUNDAMENTALS

GENERAL

The SLASCONE API is HTTPS only, built using REST principles, following all state of the art best practices for API security.

All SLASCONE functions are invokable through the API, allowing a seamless integration with other back-office systems such as CRM/ERP etc.

You can easily test the API using our official API Test Center.

AUTHENTICATION

In order to authenticate (regardless if you are testing the API using our test center or from your source code), you need to use an apiKey.

There are two apiKeys available (both can be found in the Info area of SLASCONE):

• The Provisioning apiKey. This apiKey enables you to call all methods needed for licensing and analytics scenarios. In other words, this is the key to be embedded in your software. This key authorizes the following API controllers:
  • data_exchange

  • data_gathering

  • lookup

  • provisioning

• The Administration apiKey. This apiKey enables you to call ALL SLASCONE methods. This is meant for testing or administration purposes only. It is not recommended embedding this key in your software.

GENERATING CLIENTS
