CDW’s API access is self-serve through their developer portal: anyone can sign up, subscribe to a product, and generate a subscription key — see the setup guide below.

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to CDW with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.
1

Create the integration

In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> CDW.
2

Authorize CDW

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then enter your subscription key (leave Environment on production unless you subscribed via CDW’s PreProd sandbox). Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.
3

Call the CDW API

Let’s make your first request to the CDW API. This example creates a customer order (POST /v1/customers/orders) — swap in the endpoint for the product(s) you subscribed to if different. Replace the placeholders below with your Environment API key, integration ID, and connection ID:
This creates a real order if customerId matches a customer registered in your CDW account and CDW’s schema validation accepts the rest of the payload — the placeholders below are rejected before that happens, but don’t swap in real values here. For a safe test, connect to CDW’s PreProd sandbox (pick Environment on the Connect form) or use a customerId your account team set up specifically for testing.
Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.

API gotchas

  • CDW’s gateway (Azure API Management) automatically rotates subscription keys every 30 days. If requests start failing with an authentication error, generate a new subscription key from the developer portal and update your Nango connection.
  • Available products/endpoints depend on what you subscribed to in the developer portal (for example, the Customers product exposes the Customer Order API at /v1/customers/orders). CDW also runs a separate PreProd sandbox (apiconnect.preprod.cdw.com) with its own products and subscription keys — pick Environment on the Connect form (or set baseUrl in the connection config) to switch between production and PreProd.
  • Creating a real order additionally requires a customerId that CDW’s account team has registered for you — an unrecognized customerId is rejected with "statusCode": "REJECTED" before anything is processed.
