Connecting to Logiless

To authenticate to Logiless, you can use the OAuth standard to connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data.

Using OAuth Authentication

First you will need to create an OAuth app. To do so, navigate to https://app2.logiless.com/developer/console/clients and click Create New Application button. Give the application name, Redirect URL, and click Register. You will then be given your Client Secret and Client ID

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

  • AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
  • MerchantID: Set this in ProfileSettings to the Marchant Id that is specified in your Logiless Account.
  • OAuthClientID: Set this to the OAuth Client ID that is specified in your app settings.
  • OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the OAuth Client Secret that is specified in your app settings.
  • CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app settings.
  • InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.
