Marketplace API enables Ingram Micro Cloud partners to integrate their e-Commerce, CRM, Billing or ERP Systems with Cloud Marketplace. This Application Programming Interface provides the way to automate processes, helping partners save time and resources.
Marketplace API is not a public REST API, so it’s necessary to have a Subscription KEY to use it. You can now request for Cloud Marketplace API Key via the Cloud Marketplace.
