To configure this API 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.
-
To enable this API, choose the API service named CCU APIs, and set the access level to READ-WRITE.
-
When creating, adding, and naming clients for API access, do so under CCU APIs, not General APIs. Note that you can select all CP codes when configuring your API credentials. This means all current and future CP codes on the current contract, not all CP codes on the account.
The code examples in this API reference don't contain the required authentication code syntax you need to make API calls. For examples you can copy and paste, check out the Recipes. To learn how to apply authentication in a variety of programming languages when using Akamai APIs, see Authenticate with EdgeGrid.
