Creating Credentials

Describe the procedure for creating credentials.

Prerequisites

1. You must understand the procedure for using ChainZ API Service. Please refer to the contents in the Getting Started page.

Credential Creation Procedure

1. Access the console site of the ChainZ API Service.

Console login screen for ChainZ API Service

1.1. If you are not registered as a member, please sign up for membership first.

1.2. After signing up, please enter your email and password to log in.

2. Click Security > Credentials > 'Creating Credentials' button.

Screen to search and create the list of credentials

3. Specify a name for the credential and click the 'Create' button

4. The credential has been created.

• Client ID: This is the client ID required for client authentication in the OAuth 2.0 standard.

• Client Secret: This is the client secret required for client authentication in the OAuth 2.0 standard.

• Authorization: Basic authorization header data. This value is the Base64-encoded value of '{Client ID}: {Client Secret}'. It is required when requesting the issuance of an access token.

• API Key: A key for identifying the user. Required when using API.

If you click the 'Download' button from the credential creation, you can download the secret-related data in JSON format.

Client Secret data file: chainz-credential-... json-credential-....json

{
  "name": "...",
  "clientSecret": "...",
  "clientId": "...",
  "authorization": "Basic ...==",
  "apiKey": "..."
}

The ChainZ API Service does not store client secret and authorization information. Therefore, the client secret must be stored separately by the user.
