Authentication Types

OAuth 2.0

Recommended for production use. Requires OAuth client credentials from SAP.

API Key

Simple authentication using an API key. Good for testing and development.

Basic Authentication

Username and password authentication. Use only with HTTPS connections.

Output

The block returns:

• success (boolean) - Whether the operation succeeded
• data (object) - Response data from SAP
• message (string) - Status or error message
• transactionId (string) - SAP transaction reference (if applicable)

Best Practices

• Use OAuth - Prefer OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication
• Handle Errors - Implement proper error handling for SAP responses
• Map Fields Carefully - Ensure data types match SAP requirements
• Test in Sandbox - Use SAP test environments before production
• Monitor Quotas - Track API usage to avoid rate limits
