Obtaining your API Keys from BigCommerce
To start configuring your API account, open your web browser and go to the login page of your BigCommerce store. Once you have successfully logged in to your store's dashboard, locate and select "Settings" in the left sidebar. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings page and click on "API Accounts." On the API Accounts page, click on "Create API account." In the name section of your API connection, enter a reference name for this API connection, such as "Despatch Cloud Connection." Under the "OAuth Scopes" section, select the required scopes for the app. It is recommended that you choose "Customers" for read-only and "Orders" and "Products" for modify access. Once you have configured the OAuth Scopes, click on the "Save" button in the screen's bottom right corner. After clicking the "Save" button, the API Credentials will be displayed, and a text file containing them will be automatically downloaded. Open the downloaded text file to access the Client ID, Client Secret, and Access Token. However, to complete the setup, you must also know the "Store Hash," which can be found in the API Path provided in the downloaded file. The API path should resemble this format: https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/<storehash>/v3/. The "Store Hash" is also highlighted on the 7th frame for your reference.
