Integration of APIs from the Neptune DXP Marketplace

This topic provides an overview of the steps necessary from downloading an API from the Neptune DXP Marketplace to add an authentication method and integrate it into your system.

With these APIs, you can access other Neptune DXP - Open Edition services.

Through these Neptune DXP - Open Edition APIs, you can directly fetch data from the Neptune DXP - Open Edition servers and use them in applications you created in the App Designer.

These APIs are part of the Neptune DXP Marketplace and are publicly available. You can download and use them in your applications.

The following instruction assumes that only users with a certain role should be given access to the API.
