Digistore24 API Authentication

How to authenticate Digistore24 API requests: one Bearer API key plus a connectionId. MindCloud handles Digistore24's custom auth scheme for you.

Every Digistore24 API request through MindCloud needs two things: a MindCloud API Key and a connectionId for your Digistore24 account. This page covers both, plus exactly how to send them, so you do not need to visit any other page to get authenticated.

Steps to authenticate

  1. Create a MindCloud account at app.mindcloud.co if you do not already have one.
  2. Generate a MindCloud API Key in API Keys. This is the Bearer token you send on every request. Keep it on your server.
  3. Create a Digistore24 connection in Connections. Digistore24 uses its own authentication scheme. You provide whatever it requires when you create the connection — MindCloud handles the provider-specific details for you.
  4. Copy the connection’s connectionId — you will send it on every request alongside your MindCloud API Key.

How requests are authenticated

Authentication has two layers. Your MindCloud API Key authenticates the request to MindCloud, sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The connectionId selects the connected Digistore24 account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the Digistore24 credentials behind that connection, so you never send provider tokens with your requests.

Pass connectionId in the query string for GET and DELETE actions, and in the JSON body for POST, PUT, and PATCH actions.

For example, calling List Products with an Digistore24 connection looks like this:

curl --request POST \
  --url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v2/universal/apps/digistore24/actions/list-products/run" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MINDCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "connectionId": "$CONNECTION_ID",
  "arguments": {}
}'

The Authorization: Bearer <your MindCloud API Key> header authenticates you to MindCloud; the connectionId tells MindCloud which Digistore24 account to run the action against. Missing or invalid Authorization returns 401, and a missing or mismatched connectionId returns 400.

Create a Digistore24 API key

You need a Digistore24 account with access to Account access settings.

  1. Open Account access in Digistore24

    Sign in to Digistore24, then open the Account access settings page.

    Settings → Account access
  2. Create a new API key

    In the API key section, select New API key and create the key you want to use with MindCloud.

  3. Copy the API key into MindCloud

    Copy the API key from Digistore24 and paste it into the MindCloud connection form for this app.

Keep your key safe

Keep your MindCloud API Key on your server; do not ship it in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, or logs. Anyone with the key can call the Universal API as your MindCloud account, across every connection you have created.
