DST: retrieving product data

For retailers, DST offers a powerful way to retrieve current product data securely and directly from the source. With your free login details, a temporary token, and the available endpoints, you can retrieve exactly the information you need – from complete product lists to specific code lists.

1. Working with tokens

Access to the DST API works via a security token:

  • Request a token via a secure login.
  • Use your username and password in combination with the settings client_id = dst3-api and grant_type = password.
  • In the response, you will receive a access_token.

👉 Please note: this token is only valid for 15 minutes. After that, you must request a new token.

A separate URL is available for test and acceptance environments.

2. Usage of the API and Swagger

DST provides a Swagger environment that allows you to easily explore the API:

Here you will find all available endpoints and you can immediately see how they work.

3. Most important endpoints for retailers

A number of endpoints are specifically intended for retailers who wish to retrieve data:

  • /api/customer/product: list of all authorized products (with filters for language, supplier, country, EAN/UPC, brand, and product group, among others).
  • /api/customer/product/count: number of products that meet your search criteria.
  • /api/customer/codelists: overview of all available code lists.
  • /api/customer/codelist/{codelistCode}: values of a specific code list.
  • /api/customer/all: list of all customers and their authorized profiles.
  • For multicustomers: extra endpoints such as /api/customer/product/clean and /api/customer/authorization/gln.
