What's new at ShopWired?

ShopWired's API authentication system has been updated to give users more control, flexibility, and security when accessing the ShopWired API.

Users can now create multiple API key and secret pairs, allowing separate keys to be used for different integrations or services. Each API key can be given specific permissions using the same scopes and permissions framework used for OAuth apps, rather than having full access by default.

A new management interface has been introduced where users can:

• Create multiple API keys and secrets
• Assign a name to each API key to help identify its purpose
• Select and edit permissions for each key
• View when each key was created
• Delete API keys when they are no longer required

API secrets are no longer permanently visible on the page. Secrets are hidden by default and can only be viewed intentionally, helping to reduce the risk of accidental exposure.

The previous “Generate new API credentials” button has been removed. API keys are no longer automatically generated with full permissions when API access is enabled, and regeneration of credentials is handled by deleting and creating a new key.

For more information on using the ShopWired API and managing API permissions, see the relevant API help guide.
