API overview and resources
Learn about the APIs that are available in CPQ to manage configurations.
CPQ provides APIs for both the end user (runtime) for configurations and the administrative side for setup and management.
The runtime APIs support the standard create, read, update, and delete functions for CPQ configurations, along with the ability to retrieve bill of materials (BOM) data from CPQ. These APIs can be used to build a headless or custom UI for end users to create CPQ configurations.
Administrative APIs can be used to work with blueprints, fields, sets, product pickers, rules, managed tables, and the Matrix Loader for imports and exports. The admin APIs can be integrated or automated to perform routine tasks like data migration.

Authenticating API calls
Runtime API calls are authenticated using runtime client tokens defined in CPQ Admin. For more information about runtime API calls and runtime client tokens, see:
Administrative API calls are authenticated with admin API tokens that are also set up in CPQ Admin. For more information about admin API tokens and permissions, see:
