Authentication Process

API Reference

This section contains all the information that you need to get your API credentials, and guides you through the authentication process to use the Rappi Public API.

Authentication Requirements

Rappi uses OAuth 2.0 as the authentication method for secure API requests to the Rappi Public API.

During the integration process, Rappi grants you your own set of API credentials. With these credentials, you must generate a token to authenticate when making API requests.

The API credentials that Rappi gives you consist of the following objects:

ItemDescription
Client IDThis is the identifier of the client where you authenticate.
Client SecretThis is the secret that you require to authenticate for your integration.
AudienceThis is the identifiers of the Rappi API.
Grant TypeThis is permission to request.

Important

Depending on the API you use, the audience will change and you will have to generate a token to use it

Generating an Access Token

API Reference

Generate an access token through an API call using the POST token endpoint.

Important

Your access token has a validity of 1 week. After this time, you must generate a new token to continue making requests to our secured endpoint.

To generate your token:

Make a POST request to one of the following URLs, and add a JSON to the body of the request with the following object.

URL: https://{NEW_DOMAIN}/restaurants/auth/oauth/token

The following code sample the structure of the JSON object in the body of the request:

{ "client_id": "7iCfjZCO4bTns3OjqLK4de2GV3sp6Ymd", "client_secret": "40iFFYJV9A1LrVmJsaIeARW40iFFYJV9A1LrVmJsaIeARW40iFFYJV9A1LrVmJsaIeARW", "audience": "{OLD_DOMAIN}/api/v2/restaurants-integrations-public-api", "grant_type": "client_credentials" }

Note

The values from this JSON are not real data. Ensure to replace them with your own data when making API requests.

The following table describes the values of the request body attributes:

AttributesRequirementDescription
client_id
string
requiredClient Id of your Rappi Credentials.
client_secret
string
requiredClient Secret of your Rappi Credentials.
audience
string
requiredIdentifier of the Rappi API.

{access_token}: This is your generated access token.

Ensure to include these values in the header of all your API requests for a successful authentication.
