Step 1 Generating API Keys
Our APIs are deployed in isolated Sandbox and Production environments. Onboarding onto these environments requires that you authenticate your access with the Walmart API Proxy/Gateway before initiating an API call.
Getting Started
The first step to authenticating your access is to generate API access keys.
Before you begin:
Please make sure your business partners have already connected with a Walmart Data Ventures Account Manager.
Before you begin generating your API access keys, you need to have access to a command line terminal. For Windows systems, ensure that either Git Bash or OpenSSL for Windows has been installed.
Please note:
-
You will use your generated public key to obtain a Client ID. Client IDs are shared at a company level, so the same Client ID will be applicable for everyone in the company.
-
Repeat the key generation steps for each environment you wish to gain access to, as outlined below:
Scenario | Description | Keys Needed |
---|---|---|
1 | Sandbox only | 1 Key needed |
2 | Both Production and Sandbox | 2 Keys needed: 1 for Sandbox, 1 for Production |
There are slightly different methods for generating keys, depending on whether you are using a Unix-based or Windows system.
To generate your key, select your operating system.
