Generating a Team API Key
- To generate a team API key to use with the App Store Connect API, log in to App Store Connect and:
- Select Users and Access, and then select the “Integrations” tab.
- Select “Team Keys” or “Individual Keys” based on your needs.
- Click the Generate API Key or the Add (+) button.
- Enter a name for the key. The name is for your reference only and isn’t part of the key itself.
- Under Access, select the role for the key.
- Click Generate.
- The new key’s name, key ID, download link, and other information appear on the page.
Generating a JSON Web Token (JWT) for a Team API Key using Python
import datetime
from authlib.jose import jwt
def main():
header = {
'alg': 'ES256',
'kid': 'ENTER YOUR KID HERE',
'typ': 'JWT'
}
payload = {
'iss': 'ENTER YOUR ISS HERE',
'aud': 'appstoreconnect-v1',
'exp': int(datetime.datetime.now().timestamp()) + 1200
}
# The generated token is valid for 20 minutes.For more information on geneating JWT see docs here https://developer.apple.com/go/?id=api-generating-tokens
key = open('AuthKey_XXXXXXXXXX.p8', 'r').read()
token = jwt.encode(header, payload, key).decode('utf-8')
print(token)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Generating a JSON Web Token (JWT) for an Individual API Key using Python
import datetime
from authlib.jose import jwt
def main():
header = {
'alg': 'ES256',
'kid': 'ENTER YOUR KID HERE',
'typ': 'JWT'
}
payload = {
# Individual keys don’t use the Issuer ID key iss, but do require the Subject key sub.
# Only required for individual keys
'sub': 'user',
'aud': 'appstoreconnect-v1',
'exp': int(datetime.datetime.now().timestamp()) + 1200
}
# The generated token is valid for 20 minutes.For more information on geneating JWT see docs here https://developer.apple.com/go/?id=api-generating-tokens
key = open('ApiKey_XXXXXXXXXXXX.p8', 'r').read()
token = jwt.encode(header, payload, key).decode('utf-8')
print(token)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Making your first App Store Connect API request
- Generate a JSON Web Token using one of the Python scripts from above for a Team API Key or Individual API Key.
- Use Postman or Curl to test the following
GET request:
GET https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps
Bearer Token: [Token generated from Python script]
- If the request was successful you should get a response listing all your apps from App Store Connect:
{
