Generate Credential
Corporate Customers must generate API credentials in the TB system before calling the/Get_Token endpoint. The generated credentials (Client ID and Client Secret Key) are used to obtain a valid JWT for authenticated requests to the Tranglo Business API.
| Label/Field | Data Type | Details |
| Client ID | Alphanumeric | • Tranglo System auto generated unique ID. • Example: Client ID - 0342D234255-O234-9675-1231-P23123@132- 12312 |
| Client Secret Key | Alphanumeric | • Auto generate once Corporate Customers click 'Generate' button. • Technical team side to build/set the secure format for the secret key based on best practice. |
| Generate | Button | • If this is the first time generating credentials, clicking the 'Generate' button, Tranglo system will create a new Client Secret Key. • System will show unmasked view of the Secret Key for a limited time (5 mins). Once the validity period has expired, the Secret Key will be automatically masked. • If a Client Secret Key has already been generated, clicking the 'Generate' button will trigger an alert, notifying the Corporate Customers that proceeding will deactivate the existing secret key. The new key will become active, and the Corporate Customers will need to use the new secret key for future token API calls. |
Steps to obtain the API Key credentials:
- Log in to TB portal and navigate to API Settings from the bottom-left navigation bar.
- Select the Generate Secret Key button to create the credentials. Note: Only users with the Main System Admin role are authorized to generate the secret key.
- The user can obtain the Client ID and API Secret Key after generation.
