SAP CPQ – Stateful API Authentication – Using in 3rd Party & other tools
Hello ,
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate and explain how CPQ API Authentication is made and CSRF token gets generated for making use of other endpoints.
This article provided examples applies only to /api/rd/v1/xxxxxxxxx
This authentication type is used for responsive design APIs. If you are calling an API from a SAP CPQ page using JavaScript, no additional steps are required as you are already authenticated. However, if you are calling the API from a third-party tool, you should first log in calling the method /api/rd/v1/Core/LogIn. This creates a session and gets the CSRF header token.

Hi Yogananda,
Thanks for passing on your knowledge. I have been using this guide successfully for the last couple of weeks but am no longer seeing the CSRF token in my response body - it is "null" with a status code of 200. My credentials have not changed, which has me a bit confused. Is there any way I can troubleshoot this call?
Thanks,
Alex
