Before using PAPI for the first time:
-
You need different permissions to access API functions. You can manage these permissions in Control Center. Learn more about the access control model.
-
Before you can use this API, you need to Create authentication credentials.
-
If you need to perform bulk search operations across many accounts, there's a different procedure to set up your client token. For details, see Manage many accounts with one API client.
-
To enable this API, choose the API service named Property Manager and set the access level to READ-WRITE.
-
Once you have a custom domain token, you can gather other prerequisite data used throughout the API: the relevant contract and group to access other PAPI objects, and a product to create new ones.
-
Client tools such as edgegrid-curl and edgegrid-python assume a maximum message body size of 2048 bytes, which for PAPI needs to increase to 128K. How you do so depends on your chosen tool, for example by setting
max-body:131072in the.egcurlfile, or in python by passing inmax_body:131072as part of theEdgeGridAuth()call. -

The code examples in this API reference don't contain the required authentication code syntax you need to make API calls. To learn how to apply authentication in a variety of programming languages when using Akamai APIs, see Authenticate with EdgeGrid.
