About API Credentials

This page is for Data Protection.

API credentials allow you to authenticate your custom code with Eon so you can use the Eon API. Each set of API credentials must be assigned a role, which grants the permissions needed to perform tasks in Eon.

A set of API credentials contains two properties: The client ID and client secret. Think of these like a username and password. With these credentials, your custom code can authenticate with Eon and retrieve a temporary access token. You’ll then pass the access token in the Authorization header of subsequent API requests.

For more information on the Eon API, see the Eon API overview.
