Magento

Hi

I have someone working on an API for my dropshipping but he asked the following.

1.  We would need to find out what your API key would be or by looking at any Docs you may have been given.

The example is here:
$sessionId = $proxy->login(’apiUser’, ‘apiKey’);

We would need ‘apiUser’ and ‘apiKey’

Then we could test on our end.

Does anyone have any ideas or point me to the right direction as to were i can find taht info.

Thanks

goto:  System > Web Services > Roles and define a Role set for your API user with the allowed actions.
For testing purposes you may create a temporary “can do everything” role first, and if things work nice, change that role to be as restrictive as necessary.
Save that Role and head over to: System > Web Services > Users
Add a new User, the username is your “api user”, the key (~ password) is the “api key”
Assign a Role in the second tab. Save.

Have fun,

Yeah, that form for creating new Web Service Users is maybe a little confusing.  I thought it was asking me for an API key that I needed to find out what it was from somewhere, but it was really just asking me to make up a key and then confirm it.

I know this is a really old post but it helped me out A LOT. I was in the exact same boat and this made it easy for me. Thank you!
