Find your API Keys

Every API call requires the inclusion of application credentials (API Key and Secret) in the HTTP headers.

API keys serve as identifiers for your application(s). To locate your API keys, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the main menu and choose “APPS”. Here, you’ll see any applications that have already been created.
  2. Select the appropriate application, then select “Subscriptions”. Here, you can copy the API Key. Note that the API Secret is only shown when the app is first created.

  • You can have multiple sets of credentials for each application. To create a new set, click “Add”.
  • If the application doesn’t exist, you can create a new one using the standard naming convention (EUDATA-name of ConsumerOrg) and save the credentials.

Please note that it’s advisable to have a separate application for each Product.

Once you have obtained the API Key and API Secret, include them in the HTTP Header fields ‘x-gw-client-id’ and ‘x-gw-client-secret’ respectively for your API calls.

NOTE: This process is for the cancellation of the API Subscription ONLY. To cancel the EU Data act subscription for a specific machine, please follow the Cancellation steps in the Volvo Connect Portal.

  1. Open APPS from the main menu.
  2. Select your application.
