How to get your SAP SuccessFactors Username, Company ID, Password and API URL: Step-by-step guide

April 24, 2023

When connecting SAP SuccessFactors to other platforms, authentication requires a Username, Company ID, Password and API URL.

Follow these step-by-step instructions to generate one from your SAP SuccessFactors account, or provide them to your customers if they need to connect their account.

Please follow the following instructions to obtain your SAP SuccessFactors API credentials.

Step 1: Find your API Server URL

Go to this link and find your data-center (DC). Remember your API Server URL. For example, if your domain was https://salesdemo2.successfactors.com, search for salesdemo2

Step 2: Find your Username and Company ID

To find your SAP SuccessFactors username, log-in to SuccessFactors, then click on your profile image in the upper-right corner to view your username.

You SHOULD create a new username/password just for API access so that you do not use your own login credentials.
To find your Company ID, you can click on Show version information in the top-right menu
An alternate method to find your Company ID under the company settings

Step 3: Set Security Configuration

Set the Allow Admin to Access OData API through Basic Authentication permission in Admin Center > OData API Basic Authentication Configuration page.
If you require specific IP Addresses to access the SuccessFactors API, then use the following IP addresses: 44.199.69.244 3.65.142.239 13.239.151.208. This is performed in the Admin Center > OData API Basic Authentication Configuration or the API Center > OData IP Allowlisting pages.

You've now created your SAP SuccessFactors Username, Company ID, Password and API URL - just one of many if you support multiple vendors. Each one adds new auth flows, schema differences, and ongoing maintenance.
