To use the Supply API you will need a Supply API key, provisioned by Rep Data’s Supply team.
Requesting Credentials
To obtain authentication credentials, first contact Rep Data’s Supply team at supply@repdata.com and request credentials. Suppliers that have not worked with Rep Data previously will also need to complete the new supplier onboarding process with Rep Data’s Finance team.
API Key Authentication
Authentication is done via an obfuscated GUID (your API key) associated with each supplier. The key is passed in the Authorization header of every request.
Example header:
The Supply API will only return a valid response when called with the appropriate obfuscated API key. We recommend making API calls server-to-server, which fully protects the payload — no third party will be able to access it.
Keep your key secure. Do not share your API key with any third party. Keep your key and all log-in information secure, and use the API key as your sole means of accessing the API. Rep Data reserves the right to revoke your API key at any time.
Roadmap
In a future release, Rep Data plans to offer an encrypted, tokenized authentication method for additional security. The API key method described here will continue to be supported.
