Set up API access for Analyzer in Acrobat

Last updated on Aug 24, 2026

Create a Technical Account in Adobe Developer Console to authenticate applications that use the Analyzer in Acrobat APIs.

Analyzer uses OAuth Server-to-Server authentication for secure system-to-system API access. A Technical Account allows an application to access Analyzer without relying on an individual user's authentication token.

Before you begin

To create a Technical Account, you must have one of the following:

  • Developer access for your organization.
  • System Administrator permissions for your organization.

Your organization must also have access to Studio for Enterprise.

Create a Technical Account

Sign in to Adobe Developer Console using an organizational account with the required permissions.

Select Create a new project.

Select Add API.

Select Studio for Enterprise, and then select Next.

Enter a name for the credential, and then select Next.

Adobe Developer Console configures OAuth Server-to-Server

Select the Studio for Enterprise product profile.

Select Save configured API.

The Technical Account is now configured for Analyzer API access.

Generate an access token

Generate an access token to test authenticated API requests.

Open the project in Adobe Developer Console.

In Connected Credentials, select the OAuth Server-to-Server credential.

Select Generate access token.

Copy the generated access token.

Store the token securely.

Use the access token as a bearer token when authenticating Analyzer API requests.

Generated access tokens expire after 24 hours. For testing, generate a new token when the current token expires.

For production integrations, use the OAuth Server-to-Server credential flow to obtain and renew access tokens programmatically. Do not rely on manually generated tokens for production use.

Next steps

After you configure the Technical Account and authentication credentials:

  • Make API requests with Analyzer in Acrobat to determine the organization's regional endpoint and begin using the APIs.
  • Configure on-behalf access for Analyzer in Acrobat if the Technical Account needs to work with Analyzer data owned by specific users.
