PackNet Software Platform API Authentication
API Service Access
Access to API services is determined when the API connection is created in PackNet Software Platform. The services selected during provisioning determine which PackNet APIs can be accessed:
Import: APIs for PackNet data import and job creation
Dim: APIs for PackNet DIM dimension database product import or lookup
Production: APIs for PackNet job management – trigger or cancel jobs in Production
Cube: APIs for PackNet Cube cartonization and optimal bin packing
Migration: APIs for system setup and configuration (Packsize internal use only)
Note
The API key services available in PackNet are based on the tenant's licensing tier. Users will only see API keys for the services they have access to.
Authorization Method
The PackNet API Gateway supports two authentication methods for secure API request authorization:
OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Flow (Recommended for new integrations)
Basic Authentication with API Key (Legacy support for backward compatibility)
