Obtaining Magento Credentials
As part of the setup process, it is necessary to obtain credentials from your Magento that will grant CSM with the necessary permission to access relevant Magento records. These credentials are assigned to corresponding sales channels in Business Central and can be used in the Magento Quick Start Wizard.
An API access key is a pair consisting of an application ID and an application secret. The API access key is used to obtain a session token. The session token is used when calling the REST endpoints. You decide the lifespan of your API access key: you can regenerate it as often as you wish, or you can choose to delete it. API access keys are specific to each Marketplace Developer Portal environment. API access keys generated for the sandbox cannot be used for production, and vice-versa. For each Marketplace Developer Portal environment, you have a limit of three (3) API access keys.
