Working with the Optiva API
API consumer uses the Optiva Endpoint URL from the Endpoints tab of ION API to communicate with the Optiva API. The Optiva API retrieves data from the Optiva App Server.
End points are secured via oAuth2 authentication. Any call made to the Optiva Endpoint URL will contain the ION API oAuth2 token.
To configure the Optiva API, see Configuring Optiva API in Xi/Infor OS.
The Optiva API supports the Basic and OAuth 1.0 authentication.
To configure with OAuth1.0 authentication, see Generating an OAuth 1.0 Authentication Key.
The Optiva API uses the oAuth 2.0 for API gateway authorization. For the Optiva API application authentication, a separate header is used.
Obtain the oAuth 2.0 Token
You must generate the oAuth 2.0 Token by obtaining the Infor ION Api application Authorizations from the ION API Authorized apps.
