Authentication

  1. Navigate to the Identity and Access Management section of Akamai Control Center and click Create API Client.

Note: If you don't have access to the Identity and Access Management tool, contact your local Akamai Control Center admin or your Akamai account team for assistance.

  1. Click Quick and then Download in the Credentials section.

Note: If you need to refine access levels or permissions, see Create a client with custom permissions.
