Getting Started
Everything you need before making your first API call. These steps apply to all Informat APIs.
1) Request credentials from Informat
Contact Informat to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret for your integration. You'll also receive your access group identifier (for the Invoice API) or your institute number (for the Leerlingen API).
2) Obtain an access token (OAuth2 Client Credentials)
Contact Informat to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret for your integration. You'll also receive your access group identifier (for the Invoice API) or your institute number (for the Leerlingen API).
3) Use the correct scope for your API
The scope encodes your customer context. One token = one context. Serving multiple institutes or access groups requires one token per context.
