Quick start
Welcome to the Lenovo supplier open platform! Before you get started, learn a little about the job.
Access method
notice
To apply for access, please contact your company’s Lenovo business docking colleagues for consultation.
Access instructions
1. Communication security
All communications with our open platform must use the SSL/TLS secure communication protocol to ensure the security of data during transmission.
2. Character encoding
Our open platform uniformly uses UTF-8 encoding format for communication, including request and response data, ensuring correct transmission and parsing of characters.
3. Field length
In our documentation, field lengths are measured in bytes, not character lengths. Under UTF-8 encoding, one Chinese character occupies 3 bytes.
4. Identity verification
The accessing party needs to obtain a valid access token or API key to authenticate. Please contact our platform administrator to obtain access credentials.
5. Interface access permissions
Access parties need to clearly understand the interface permissions they have and only access the resources and functions for which they are authorized.
6. Data format specification
Please follow our data format specifications and ensure that the field names, types, formats and value ranges of request and response data are consistent with those described in the document. Json messages are transmitted by default without special instructions.
7. Error handling
Please handle error conditions correctly. It is very important to know how to recognize and deal with various possible error conditions.
8. Performance requirements
We expect the response time of the interface to stay within expected limits and may limit the request rate.
9. Monitoring and logging
We recommend that you implement monitoring and logging capabilities yourself. These features will help you detect and resolve potential failures promptly and optimize system performance.
10. Communication Channels
If the access party encounters any problems or needs help during the access process, please feel free to contact our technical support team.
11. Version Control
Our open platform may have multiple versions of the API, make sure to choose the version that suits your needs and understand the differences and migration paths between versions.
12. Security Best Practices
Please follow security best practices such as encrypting sensitive data, securely storing access tokens, etc. to ensure data security and privacy protection.
13. Testing and Validation
Before going live in production, please complete the test environment verification to ensure that your application is compatible with our interface and can work properly.
