Excerpt

To make calls to an API, you require API credentials which authenticate your request.

Your API credentials consist of:

  • your client ID. Your client ID identifies who you are, a bit like a user name.
  • your client secret. Your client secret is a password that's generated by Vonage Contact Center.

If you do not already have API credentials, you will need to create them in API Admin. For information about creating new API credentials, seeĀ Creating new API credentials.
If you already have API credentials and want to reuse these for an additional scope, you can add that scope to your existing credentials. For information about adding a new scope to existing API credentials, seeĀ Adding a scope to your existing API credentials.
