The API client enables secure and direct communication between an external system and the DJUST platform via RESTful APIs. With this client, users can programmatically import and export data, ensuring real-time synchronization with third-party services such as ERPs, PIMs, or custom data hubs.

Prerequisites

Before configuring an API client, make sure you have the following:

A RESTful API server to interact with (e.g., ERP or middleware system).
Connection information:
- Base URL (e.g., https://api.company.com)
- Optionally: request headers
For OAuth2 authentication (if required):
- Access token URL
- Client ID and Client secret
- (Optional) Username and Password for password grant type

Configure an API Client in DJUST

Create an API Client

Step 1 – Access the Data Hub

Go to the Data Hub page from the DJUST back office.
Click on Configure a new client
Select the client type and choose API Client.

Step 2 – Configure Connection Settings

Fill in the following mandatory fields:
- Connection name (must be unique)
- Base URL of your API server
In the Authentication section, choose the method:
- No Auth – if the API is public or handles auth in another way
- OAuth 2.0 – if secure authentication is needed
If OAuth2 is selected, provide:
- Access token URL
- Client ID and Client secret
- Optional: Username and Password (for password grant type)
You can also add custom request headers (e.g., Authorization, X-API-Key, etc.)

Step 3 – Save the Configuration

Once all fields are filled in, click on Create to save the API client.

Manage an API Client

Once your API Client is created, you can manage it from the Data Hub interface:

Go to the Data Hub page
