Authenticated Search

Authenticated Search is used to give access to data that is not publicly available.

This can include:

• Products or prices (price groups) that are only available to certain customer groups.
• Filters that are not in allowed filters.
• Allowing access to authenticated scopes via authenticated search.
• Allowing access to debug information.

One of the most common use cases of authenticated search is to give access to other price groups than the default one.

Authentication token

The search API supports authenticated search by exposing the AuthenticationToken field on product, SKU and export endpoint request models.

The authentication token is a signed token, that contains filters that are not possible to change for the end user.

See Use Authenticated Search for a guide on how to use authenticated search.
