The Try It feature in this documentation lets you send requests to the Ware2Go APIs using your credentials. Before using the Try It, you need the following items:

API User Name - Created in AccountVu
API Secret Key - Created with the API user in AccountVu
Merchant ID - The Ware2Go-assigned ID for your merchant, available in AccountVu.

The Getting Started guide describes how to create an API user, get the API key, and find your merchant ID.

This page describes how to use the Try It feature to obtain a bearer token and then use it to authenticate requests to the Ware2Go APIs.

Obtain a bearer token

Use bearer tokens to authenticate your requests to the Merchant, Reports, WMS, and WMS Updates APIs. Follow the steps below to create a bearer token using the Authentication API and the Try It feature:

Select Authentication from the left hand navigation.
