Use the Developer Portal at developer.stora.co to set up and manage development access for the Stora API. The portal guides you through three workflows:
  • Testing / exploration — create a test operator and explore the API safely.
  • Account integration — connect a real operator account when you need to manage API access for that operator.
  • Partner app — create an OAuth application for partner integrations and marketplace distribution.
Choose the workflow that matches what you are building. You do not need to connect a real operator account just to explore the API.

​
Testing / looking around

Start here when you want to explore the API. Create a Developer Portal account, then create a test operator. A test operator is a sandbox-style operator account created for your developer company. It is separate from any real operator connection. Use a test operator to try requests, create credentials, configure webhook endpoints, and test integration behavior before working with real operator data.

Set up authentication

Create credentials and learn how access tokens and OAuth 2.0 work.

Make your first request

Use your test operator to make your first API call.

​
Manage accounts

Use Account integration when you need to manage API access for a specific real operator. Connecting an operator account is optional. Use this flow when you are building a single-operator integration or when a developer manages credentials for an operator. Follow the Manage accounts guides:
  • Connect an account — generate an invitation and get staff approval to manage the account’s API access.
  • API credentials — choose Access Tokens or OAuth Clients and use Client Credentials.
  • Manage access — change scopes, manage expiry, disable or revoke credentials, and terminate a connection.
Either side can revoke the connection. This stops developer management, but does not automatically stop existing credentials. See Terminate an account connection for the differences between developer-side and Stora-side revocation.

​
Create partner app

Use Partner app when you are building an integration for multiple operators or preparing an app for marketplace distribution. In the Developer Portal, you can:
  • Create and maintain partner applications.
  • Develop against your test operators.
  • Invite selected operators to test your application.
  • Review the partner approval checklist before you submit.
  • Submit your application for review when it is ready.
  • Manage the partner application listing on marketplace.stora.co.
Test applications are intentionally limited. They can be used with your developer company’s test operators, or with real operators that accept an application invitation. For deeper guidance, see:
