Learn how to authenticate and use the Marketplace API to set up your integration server for the base URL.

When a customer uses your integration, the following two APIs are used for interaction and communication between the user, Vercel and the provider integration:

  • Vercel calls the provider API
  • The provider calls the Vercel API

Review Native Integration Concepts and Native Integration Flows to learn more.

This authentication uses the OpenID Connect Protocol (OIDC). Vercel sends a JSON web token (JWT) signed with Vercel’s private key and verifiable using Vercel’s public JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS) available here.

This authentication uses the Vercel API authentication bearer token.

The integration provider can initiate the SSO process from their side. This helps to streamline the authentication process for users coming from the provider's platform and provides security when a user attempts to access a resource managed by a Vercel Marketplace integration.

To initiate SSO, an integration provider needs to construct a URL using the following format:

https://vercel.com/sso/integrations/{URLSlug}/{installationId}?{query}

Where:

  • URLSlug: The unique identifier for your integration in the Vercel Integrations Marketplace
  • installationId: The ID of the specific installation for the user
  • query: Optional query parameters to include additional information

Example

Let's say you have an AWS integration with the following details:

  • URLSlug: aws-marketplace-integration-demo
  • installationId: icfg_PSFtkFqr5djKRtOkNtOHIfSd
  • Additional parameter: resource_id=123456

The constructed URL would look like this:

https://vercel.com/sso/integrations/aws-marketplace-integration-demo/icfg_PSFtkFqr5djKRtOkNtOHIfSd?resource_id=123456

Flow

  1. The provider constructs and redirects the user to the SSO URL
  2. Vercel validates the SSO request and confirms user access
  3. Upon successful validation, Vercel initiates an SSO redirect back to the provider
  4. The user gains authenticated access to the requested resource
post /v1/integrations/sso/token
Description:During the autorization process, Vercel sends the user to the provider redirectLoginUrl, that includes the OAuth authorization code parameter. The provider then calls the SSO Token Exchange endpoint with the sent code and receives the OIDC token. They log the user in based on this token and redirects the user back to the Vercel account using deep-link parameters included the redirectLoginUrl. This is used to verify the identity of the user during the Open in Provider flow. Providers should not persist the returned id_token in a database since the token will expire.

Depending on the type of billing plan, the invoice can be sent at a time of signup, at the start of the billing period, or at the end of the billing period.

There are several limitations to the invoice submission:

1. A resource can only be billed once per the billing period and the billing plan.
2. The billing plan used to bill the resource must have been active for this resource during the billing period.
3. The billing plan used must be a subscription plan.
4. The interim usage data must be sent hourly for all types of subscriptions. See Send subscription billing and usage data API on how to send interim billing and usage data.

Security:UsebearerTokento secure this endpoint.
Description:This endpoint updates the secrets of a resource. If a resource has projects connected, the connected secrets are updated with the new secrets. The old secrets may still be used by existing connected projects because they are not automatically redeployed. Redeployment is a manual action and must be completed by the user. All new project connections will use the new secrets.

Use cases for this endpoint:

- Resetting the credentials of a database in the partner. If the user requests the credentials to be updated in the partner’s application, the partner post the new set of secrets to Vercel, the user should redeploy their application and the expire the old credentials.

  • 2024-10-04: "Upsert Installation" and "Update Installation" APIs now allow returning {billingPlan: BillingPlan} in the response. This is useful for installation level billing.
  • 2024-09-06: "Delete Installation" API can optionally return {finalized: true} to signal that the installation can be removed immediately. Otherwise, the installation will wait for up to 12hr for any pending billing data to be submitted.

  • 2024-08-15: Added "Get Installation" and "List Billing Plans for Installation" API for installation-level billing. Added BillingPlan.scope attribute that determines installation or resource level billing for a billing plan.
  • 2024-08-14: "Submit Invoice" and "Submit Billing Data" APIs no longer require resourceId for each item.
  • 2024-08-14: "Submit Invoice" and "Submit Billing Data" APIs accept discounts fields.
  • 2024-08-13: Resource.billingPlan is no longer required when the integration has installation-level billing enabled. If installation-level billing is not enabled in the Integration Console and this property is missing, the response will be treated as an error.
  • 2024-08-09: Added the user_email to the User Authentication JWT claims.
  • 2024-07-24: Added REPL endpoint.
  • 2024-07-09: Removed BillingPlan.requiredPolicies? and ProvisionResourceRequest.acceptedPolicies fields until further notice. The only policies required/accepted for now are for the InstallIntegrationRequest.
