Create a project and add APIs using OAuth

Create a project in the Adobe Developer Console for accessing Adobe APIs and add APIs to your project using OAuth.

Before you begin

Role required: Adobe Cloud admin

Procedure

1. Create a project in the Adobe Developer Console to access the Adobe APIs by selecting Create new project.
   For more information, see Projects Overview.
2. Add an API to your project by selecting Add API.
   For more information, see Add API to project using OAuth.
3. Select User Management API for the Adobe service that you want to integrate with.
   This service enables you to access the Adobe user management API. After you successfully add the API to your project, you’re redirected to the API overview page.
4. Select Next.
5. On the Configure API form, expand Credentials.
6. Select the OAuth Server-to-Server authentication.
7. Provide a name in the Credential name field to find the correct API credential easily on the Admin Console > Users > API Credentials.
   You can also modify the name later in your project on the OAuth Server-to-Server credential overview page.
8. Select Save configured API.
   The following values are displayed on the credential overview page:

   • CLIENT ID
   • CLIENT SECRET
   • SCOPES
   • CREDENTIAL NAME
   • TECHNICAL ACCOUNT ID
   • TECHNICAL ACCOUNT EMAIL
   • ORGANIZATION ID

   Note:

   Copy the CLIENT ID and ORGANIZATION ID and also retrieve the CLIENT SECRET to use them later.

9. Get the Connection URL (Instance URL) from the Adobe Developer Console to create and get an OAuth token for Adobe Cloud.
   1. In the Generate access token section, select View cURL command.
   2. Copy the Connection URL.
      Note:

      Copy only the required URL from the entire command.

      For example, here the Connection URL is the highlighted part.
