(Swift 2) Shopware 6 - Store API Authentication

See more Shopware 6 Examples

Each sales channel has an accessKey, which can be generated in the administration or over the admin api. This accessKey is used for the authentication by providing it in the sw-access-key

You can test the authentication by sending a request to the store-api/v1/context endpoint

Note: This example only serves to test authentication. It returns a "token". This may lead you to believe that the returned token is what is required to authentication with subsequent Store API requests. This is NOT the case. The Store API requests simply authentication with the sw-access-key, just as this request does. The returned "token" is a context token which can be used to switch the different values of your current "session" like active language, currency or shipping location.

Furthermore, Store API requests don't actually require an OAuth2 access token. The OAuth2 access token is needed for API requests (i.e. "/api/v3/..." as opposed to "/store-api/v3/...")
