Hi Olivia Forde ,

I hope this helps.

hi Andre Serrazina  and Harald Kuske 

I was asked by developers for this info as they haven't worked with SugarCRM previously, and are building an integration with an ecommerce website.

Their response was they only need username and password, no platform, secret etc...

Not being a developer myself, can you advise on an appropriate reply to explain the disadvantages of their method please?

Thank you in advance.

Since version 7 you need the platform, mandatory. I suppose they worked with the old REST API v4_1 which is still available but not supported anymore.

In tis old API you authenticate with 

"user_auth":
{
  "user_name":"{{usr}}",
  "password":"{{pwd}}"},
  "application_name":"SoapTest"
}
