How to get started developing using the API

[Oren Yehezkely]

Hello,

I am looking for some guidance or some starting points developing with the API.

What kind of credentials does my programmer need to get?

Does he need to get a token? How exactly?

Does the token serve an application/website, or is it per user?

Thanks,

Oren

Oren, 

the first step is to assign a "client_id" for the developer and/or application. This process is defined here, http://dox.netsapiens.com/blog/2013/03/10/managing-client-id-secret/ , this will be the ID that the developer will use in conjunction with username and password later. 

The next step is to generate a access token. this process requires 4 pieces of data. The client_id and client_secret are from the step before and also the username and password for a user. The user you choose for this step depends heavily on the app you wish to write. If you wish to write a Provisioning app or back end app then a user with a higher level scope like "Super User" makes sense. If you are writting a app like a click to call or a browser plugin a scope like Basic user would be ideal. the process is defined here, http://dox.netsapiens.com/blog/2012/09/10/authorization-oauth-2-0/

Let me know how that goes

Chris
