To start your Creditsafe Connect API integration you will need to have activated your account and set a password by following the instructions in your Welcome Email. If you have not received a Welcome Email please contact your Creditsafe Account Manager.By default, you will have been setup on our Sandbox environment.
Using a REST API client construct an /authenticate
POST request and enter your username & password (case-sensitive) into the POST body. A successful response will return an authentication token
.
Use the authentication token
in an Authorization
header on all other Creditsafe Connect calls as proof of your authenticity.

This ensures that updates can be applied seamlessly without affecting the existing functionality.
Breaking changes refer to any modifications to the API's functionality that could disrupt the current contract of the API. Such changes necessitate communication with stakeholders and will lead to a major version number update, indicating the significant nature of these changes.
