Applications & projects
A project in the Developer Portal includes your credentials allowing your applications to access our APIs. To use Commerzbank APIs a user account and a project in the Developer Portal have to be created, APIs have to be assigned to this project and authentication credentials suitable to the selected APIs have to be created.
We show you how to create a project step-by-step in our Quickstart guide.
You can share your created projects with other users. It is possible to set up other users with read or edit permissions. To do this, go to the project you want to share and add the user's e-mail address, which should also be given access to your project. The user must be in your organization.
The number of projects per user is limited to 10. We recommend specifying the titles and descriptions of your projects as precisely as possible to make it easier to manage them later on. You can add credentials to or remove credentials from your project whenever you like. At a particular time there can be a maximum of 5 credentials for every credential type. Please keep in mind that deleted credentials become immediately invalid, so if one of your applications uses these credentials to access an API, the access will be denied.
The APIs included in our API Catalog provide a sandbox version which responds with static data. As soon as you have integrated the APIs in your project, you can send test requests to our sandbox. The responses will include test data to help you with your application development.
Some APIs offer a sandbox to learn about the API interactively and to develop applications against a real endpoint.
However, there are a few things to consider when using the sandbox:
- The sandbox does not contain any productive data.
- All data in the sandbox are static. This means that POST / PATCH and DELETE behave as expected in the response, but do not change any data in the sandbox.
- Some sandboxes differ in the URL of their endpoints by the string "-s" according to the API version, which can lead to problems when switching to a live system.
In the Developer Portal, only API documentation is made available which is currently active. If several versions of an API are active at the same time, the respective API documentation is listed separately in the API catalog. Please note that APIs marked as "deprecated" will be disabled soon. In this case please migrate to the current version.
