Yes, you can import your existing API credentials when you create a new application on the developer console. This is used for previous partners that have ever requested credentials directly from Tokopedia and are currently active, but doesn’t have a developer console account yet.

Technical FAQ

Q: How long is the access_token valid?

The access_token is valid for 2 days (2880 minutes). After 2 days, the client will have to generate a new access_token or else the API call will return an "unauthorized" error.

Q: Where do I get the API credentials (App ID, Client Id, and Client Secret)?

You can get the API credentials from developer console on authentication management page: https://developer.tokopedia.com/console/[app_id]/auth-management

Q: Do I need to store the API credentials locally?

No. With this new feature you can get the API credentials anytime on the developer console, so you no longer have to keep the secret locally and regenerate if lost.

Q: How do I reset the API credentials?

On the developer console you can reset the API credentials. When you reset the credentials, note that only Client Secret gets regenerated, so you will have to use the new pair of keys to get the access_token.

Q: What happens to my access_token if the API credential is regenerated?

The access_token which was generated before resetting the credentials will continue to work for 2 days from the time it was generated. After resetting the credentials, any new call using the old credentials (except until the existing token expires) will send an error.

Q: I already have API credentials, why am I still getting an "unauthorized" error?
  • Please check that you have recent credentials from authentication management page on the developer console.
  • Credentials are assigned for the partner, which will be shared within all the users within the partner. Make sure someone else has not reset the keys.
  • After all of the above, if you still experience issues, please contact us via service desk.
