Credentials

Before you can start using the Carrier Connect API, you need a user and a password.

If you do not have your own client yet, you can use the following credentials to test the API.

❗️

The client "APITEST" is intended for basic connectivity testing and is used by different users. Don't use it with sensitive data.

REST (OpenApi)

Use it like this in the API Reference:

💡

The API is only available via Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

Authentication

Authentication data must be provided for every call. It is expected as an HTTP authentication (HTTP basic protocol). The user and client login data is transmitted in the format USER@CLIENT:PASSWORT.

The login data must be base 64–encoded. The password is written out, so this is why we require using HTTPS encryption and the data cannot be intercepted by unauthorized parties.

Example:
User = API_TEST
Client = APITEST
Password = API_TEST_007

The string "API_TEST@APITEST:API_TEST_007", when encoded in base 64, yields “QVBJX1RFU1RAQVBJVEVTVDpBUElfVEVTVF8wMDc=".

The following line would therefore be added to the HTTP header:
Authorization: Basic QVBJX1RFU1RAQVBJVEVTVDpBUElfVEVTVF8wMDc=
