Apple Business API share access
You can use the Apple Business API with other features of Apple Business.
Use the Apple Business API with logos and cover photos
Applying cover photos and logos using the Apple Business API requires that the organisation and third-party partner be registered with Apple Business and that the organisation successfully delegate authority to the third-party partner. See Use an Organisation ID to share your content with a third-party partner.
Use the Apple Business API with showcases
Creating showcases using the Apple Business API requires that the organisation and third-party partner be registered with Apple Business and that the organisation successfully delegate authority to the third-party partner. See Use an Organisation ID to share your content with a third-party partner.
See the Apple Business API website for working with showcases using the Apple Business API. For showcase visual elements and settings – such as call-to-action, headline and body text contents, photo and alternative text for the visually impaired – sign in and review Showcase Creative. To see the publication state and to define timeframe, resource details and IDs, sign in and review showcase.
Service accounts
You can allow developers to connect to Apple Business using an Apple-provided API. To request access for a Service Account, you need to be an Administrator of a third-party partner approved by Apple.
A Service Account is a special type of account intended to represent a system that needs to authenticate and be authorised to access the Apple Business API.
