Retail Public APIs

Public APIs (/public/v#) are traditionally accessed by devices (browsers, apps, etc.) and are fronted by a CDN (Akamai). These APIs are either public or require a JSON web token in the bearer to provide authenticated access.

Do not wrap Public Arc XP API calls in a proxy or wrapper of your own code. In doing so, you lose many of the detection and response capabilities offered by the Arc XP platform. Because a proxy makes all of your end-user traffic appear to come from the IP ranges of your data center, the Arc XP team cannot as easily detect an attack, isolate malicious requests from non-malicious, or fingerprint and block malicious traffic.If you do decide to proxy traffic to Arc XP, be aware it may be blocked. Instead, use Arc XP developer APIs and IFX features to meet your business objectives.

Base path could have any of the following formats. If you don’t know what is the CDN endpoint created for your tenant, please reach out to your Technical Account Manager.
