Security

Learn about security configuration

To access Vertex® Cloud and communicate using the Vertex REST APIs, you need Vertex Cloud user credentials, API authentication credentials, and an access token. Keep your credentials secure and do not share them publicly.

Vertex Cloud Credentials

Your account credentials identify you as an authorized Vertex Cloud user. Work with sales to establish an account that meets your tax needs. For more information, see Request Information - Vertex, Inc. .

API Authentication Credentials

Once your Vertex Cloud account is established, you can log in and generate your own client ID and client secret, which enable you to generate an API access token.

Access Token

With the client ID and client secret, you can request an access token that enables you to interact with our REST APIs.
