How can I obtain the client secret to consume Mashery 3.0 API

[Francesco Fusco]

How can I obtain the client secret to consume Mashery 3.0 API like so:

curl -k -v -i -u : 'https://api.mashery.com/v3/token' -d 'grant_type=password&username=&password=&scope='

 

I was able to find my client ID but there was no way I could find the client secret.

 

Thanks,

Francesco.

Hi Francesco,

Step 01 :

For client_secret, first make sure that under the required API package, the 'Generate Shared Secrets' property is Enabled. For example if my API package name is 'xyz', then under : "API Packages-> xyz-> Key Properties" enable the 'Generate Shared Secrets' property.

 

Step 02:

Once the above step is completed, generate the package key.

 

Step 03 :

After the package key is generated for your required application, advance to "Manage -> Package Keys". Click on the key generated under 'Step 02'. There you would find a propertynamed 'Secret' for that key. That Secret is the required client_secretto consumeyour mashery API.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Aadesh,

 

Sorry but what I need is to consume Mashery's APIs themselves not APIs configured in Mashery.

So regarding the step 01 you mentioned, honestly I would not know under which API package should I go to enable the "Generate Shared Secrets" flag.

 

Thanks,

Francesco.

HelloFrancesco,

You should be able to see the shared secret on the Mashery developer portal after sigining in. (https://developer.mashery.com/apps/mykeys)

It will list the API key you requested and the associated secret as well.

Thanks and Regards
