Get started

Authentication

To use the Storage Access API, you need to authenticate with an access token:

• For user-service interactions, copy your user access token directly from a given application in Guidewire Home.

• For service-to-service interactions, use your client credentials to get a token with specific scopes. For details, see Before you begin.

Before you begin

If you use the service-to-service interactions with the Storage Access API for the first time:

1. Decide which scopes you need.
2. Register the API in Guidewire Hub. For details on how to register the API, see Access Cloud Platform APIs in the Cloud Platform documentation.

If you already registered the Storage Access API and obtained the necessary credentials:

1. Get an access token with the supported scopes.
2. Use the generated token to make an authorized call.

User access token

To authenticate with a user access token, you must be in the user group managed by Guidewire Hub. For details, see Access Cloud Platform apps and services.

Note:

An access token expires after 60 minutes.

You can get an access token directly from Guidewire Home:

1. Log in to Guidewire Home.

   In Guidewire Home, from Apps , select Storage Access or select it from your pinned apps.

2. Select your profile.

3. Select Copy access token.

   This action copies an access token to your clipboard.

   

Supported scopes

The Storage Access API supports the following scopes:

Scope	Description
storage.accesskeys.write, tenant.${TENANT_ID}	Create, update, and delete access keys.
storage.accesskeys.read, tenant.${TENANT_ID}	Get access key details.
storage.users.write, tenant.${TENANT_ID}	Create, update, and delete users.
storage.users.read, tenant.${TENANT_ID}	Get user details.
storage.roles.write, tenant.${TENANT_ID}	Create, update, and delete roles.
storage.roles.read, tenant.${TENANT_ID}	Get role details.

Where ${TENANT_ID} is your unique customer name.

Get an access token with supported scopes

To get an access token with scopes, you need to authenticate with Guidewire Hub using your client ID and client secret.

Send the following POST request:

curl -s --location --request POST ${GWHUB_URL} \
    --data-urlencode "grant_type=client_credentials" \
    --data-urlencode "scope=${SCOPE} tenant.${TENANT_ID}" \
    --data-urlencode "client_id=${GWHUB_CLIENT_ID}" \
    --data-urlencode "client_secret=${GWHUB_CLIENT_SECRET}"

Where:

• ${GWHUB_URL} depends on your region. Use one of the following:

Region	URL
AMER	https://guidewire-hub.okta.com/oauth2/aus11vix3uKEpIfSI357/v1/token
BRAZIL	https://guidewire-hub.okta.com/oauth2/aus11vix3uKEpIfSI357/v1/token

JAPAN	https://guidewire-hub-apac.okta.com/oauth2/ausbg05gfcTZQ7bpH3l6/v1/token

• ${SCOPE} must include tenant.${TENANT_ID} and at least one of the supported scopes. For details on how to get or extend scopes, see Access Cloud Platform APIs.
• ${GWHUB_CLIENT_ID} is a unique identifier for the application that you use to obtain a token from Guidewire Hub. For details on how to get the client ID, see Access Cloud Platform APIs.
• ${GWHUB_CLIENT_SECRET} is a secret for the application that you use to obtain a token from Guidewire Hub. For details on how to get the client secret, see Access Cloud Platform APIs.

The response contains a JSON object with the requested access token. For example:

{
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "access_token": "xxxxxxxx",
  "scope": "storage.accesskeys.write storage.accesskeys.read tenant.${TENANT_ID}"
}

Note:

An access token expires after 60 minutes.

Make an authenticated call

To authenticate API requests, add the obtained access token to an Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}

For example:

curl -s --location --request GET "${STORAGE_SERVICE_API}" \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}"
