Get a Magento 2 REST API Token With MyMagento

Let’s generate a Magento 2 REST API token using the MyMagento REST API wrapper package.

Setting the Login Credentials

Use your Magento 2 login credentials to generate an ACCESS_TOKEN

domain = 'domain.com'
username ='username'
password = 'password'

If you’re using a local installation of Magento, your domain should look like this:

domain = '127.0.0.1/path/to/magento'

Getting a Client

Now that that’s set that up, let’s start using the API.

MyMagento uses the Client class to handle all interactions with the API

import magento

api = magento.get_api(domain=domain, username=username, password=password, local=True)

2023-02-15 01:09:05 INFO   |[ MyMagento | 127_adam ]|:  Authenticating adam on 127.0.0.1/magento24...
2023-02-15 01:09:06 INFO   |[ MyMagento | 127_adam ]|:  Logged in to adam

Setting Environment Variables

To log in faster in the future, you can set the following environment variables:

import os

os.environ['MAGENTO_DOMAIN'] = domain
os.environ['MAGENTO_USERNAME']= username
os.environ['MAGENTO_PASSWORD']= password

The Client can now be initialized as follows

import magento

api = magento.get_api(local=True)

2023-02-15 01:09:28 INFO   |[ MyMagento | 127_adam ]|:  Authenticating adam on 127.0.0.1/magento24...
2023-02-15 01:09:30 INFO   |[ MyMagento | 127_adam ]|:  Logged in to adam
