# CDW

> Integrate your application with the CDW API

<Note>
  CDW's API access is self-serve through their [developer portal](https://portal.apiconnect.cdw.com/): anyone can sign up, subscribe to a product, and generate a subscription key — see the [setup guide](/docs/api-integrations/cdw/connect) below.
</Note>

## 🚀 Quickstart

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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the integration">
    In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> *Configure New Integration* -> *CDW*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize CDW">
    Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/docs/reference/backend/http-api/api-keys), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):

    <Warning>
      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.
    </Warning>

    <Tabs>
      <Tab title="cURL">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/v1/customers/orders" \
          -X POST \
          -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
          -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
          -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>" \
          -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
          -d '{ "orderHeader": { "customerId": "...", "orderId": "...", "orderDate": "2026-01-01", "orderAmount": "1.00", "currency": "USD" }, "orderLines": [] }'
        ```
      </Tab>

      <Tab title="Node">
        Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:

        ```typescript theme={null}
        import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

        const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });

        const res = await nango.post({
            endpoint: '/v1/customers/orders',
            providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
            connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>',
            data: {
                orderHeader: { customerId: '...', orderId: '...', orderDate: '2026-01-01', orderAmount: '1.00', currency: 'USD' },
                orderLines: []
            }
        });

        console.log(res.data);
        ```
      </Tab>
    </Tabs>

    Or fetch credentials with the [Node SDK](/docs/reference/backend/backend-sdk/node#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](/docs/reference/backend/http-api/connection/get).

    ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Implement Nango in your app">
    Follow our [quickstart](/docs/getting-started/quickstart) to integrate Nango in your app.

    To obtain your own production credentials, follow the setup guide linked below.

## 📚 CDW Integration Guides

Nango maintained guides for common use cases.

* [How do I link my CDW account?](/docs/api-integrations/cdw/connect)
  Sign up on the CDW developer portal, subscribe to a product, and connect your subscription key to Nango

Official docs: [CDW API Management developer portal](https://portal.apiconnect.cdw.com/)

## 🧩 Pre-built syncs & actions for CDW

Enable them in your dashboard. [Extend and customize](/docs/implementation-guides/platform/functions/customize-template) to fit your needs.

*No pre-built syncs or actions available yet.*

<Tip>Not seeing the integration you need? [Build your own](/docs/guides/functions/functions-guide) independently.</Tip>

## 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](https://portal.apiconnect.cdw.com/) 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.
