Quickstart
Sign up to CEMEX Developer Center
To start using our API services, you must be registered in the developer center.
Registration is free, just click on the SIGN UP button and fill the requested fields. Once registered you will receive a welcome email to the platform.
Browse the available APIs
To browse available APIs, click on Products on the top menu.
You can use the supplied APIs to quickly construct a fully featured application.
Register an application
In order to call any API you must have a valid subscription key, that you can request by creating an application in Products tab.
This subscription key is used in identifying you and your application, so it must be sent as part of the http request header as Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key.
Create new application
- Select the corresponding API product(s) on the section Products.
- On the bottom on the API product detail, fill the text box with a name of your desired new App.
- Accept API Terms and Conditions.
- Click on the Subscribe button.
- Your application will be created.
Getting your Subscription Key
From Subscription Management, click on your registered app to go into its detail view. You’ll see a subscription key for each of the selected (and approved) API products. As mentioned in step 3, this subscription key is a required request header parameter.
Each product has a different subscription key.
Public API products are automatically approved.
Partner and Private API products are internally approved and go through an internal approval process.
Getting your authentication tokens
(Applies only to Private APIs)
Additional to the subscription key, authorization token and JWT are required in every partner and private API request header.
These tokens are obtained by calling the authenticity service and including in the request body your CEMEX Go credentials.
The service will respond with an authorization access token and a JWT.
You can also export and review the following examples:
