Authentication

Before you start you need to obtain the following information

CLIENT_ID="my client id"
CLIENT_SECRET="my client secret"
API_USERNAME="my Infoland API username"
API_PASSWORD="my Infoland API password"

To get this information, please contact support@ambita.com

In order to obtain a token, run the following

curl -s -H  "Content-Type: application/json" https://beta-api.ambita.com:443/authentication/v2/token -d "
        {
                \"grant_type\": \"password\",
                \"client_id\": \"CLIENT_ID\",
                \"client_secret\": \"CLIENT_SECRET\",
                \"username\": \"API_USERNAME\",
                \"password\": \"API_PASSWORD\"
        }"

Example response

{
  "access_token": "ej577asf-a5k6-42yq-a3a2-fh03hb8cb58c",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "refresh_token": "aj274ajd-t1s8-48sk-v5m1-shf64j9bq25a",
  "scope": [
    "shopping.read",
    "shopping.write",
    "productcatalog.read"
  ]
}

The access_token is valid for 1 hour and should be reused until it expires. When the token expires, the API will return 401 UNAUTHORIZED.

To get a new access_token you can use the refresh token grant_type

curl -s -H  "Content-Type: application/json" https://beta-api.ambita.com:443/authentication/v2/token -d "
        {
                \"grant_type\": \"refresh_token\",
                \"refresh_token\": \"aj274ajd-t1s8-48sk-v5m1-shf64j9bq25a\"
        }"

The refresh_token is valid for 30 days and should be stored securely and only be used to get new access_token. The refresh token grant_type will also return a new refresh_token, you should replace your existing refresh_token with the new one, the new refresh_token is valid for another 30 days. If the refresh_token expires, you need to authenticate with client, credentials and grant_type password again.

How to integrate

You want to start with finding the product you want to order, this is done by looking up the product list for a given municipality, see Get products. You can also contact support if you are unsure about what product to order, support@ambita.com.

Then make sure you are handling push notifications correctly, see Push messages.

Next you want to create an order, this is described in Create an order.

When you have created the order, you should then wait for push messages. We recommend to put push messages on a queue and process them sequentially. What to do with the different statuses is described in the Push messages, but for UPDATE and FINISHED, there is a small difference to what should be done.

When you receive an UPDATE or FINISHED push message, you should follow this 3-step procedure:

1. Use the orderId and get the order from our API described in Get order

2. Loop through assets and do necessary actions

   Files can occur on both order level and order line level.

   Example (JavaScript)

    fetch('https://beta-api.ambita.com/kode/v1/orders/:orderId')
      .then(response => {
        response.orders.forEach(order => {
          if (order.assets.length > 0) {
            // loop through order assets and do necessary actions
          }
   
          order.orderLines.forEach(orderLine => {
            if (orderLine.assets.length > 0) {
              // loop through order line assets and do necessary actions
            }
          });
        })
      });
   

3. Delete or save the file

   Response from https://beta-api.ambita.com/kode/v1/orders/:orderId

    {
      "id": 1234567,
      "status": "PROGRESS",
      ...
      "orders": [
        {
          "id": 1234567,
          "supplierName": "Infoland Kommune - demo",
          "assets": [
            ...
          ],
          ...
          "orderLines": [
            {
              "id": 12345678,
              "assets": [
                ...
              ]
   

   Take a look at the Get delivered files section, the id of the asset will be unique and should be stored in your system. Use this id as a reference to check if you have downloaded the asset before, this way you won’t end up with duplicates. You should also check the status of the asset and delete the file if it has status DELETED.

Create an order

To create an order, you need to use the access_token that you previously obtained.
