Creating API credentials in Shutterstock

This topic explains how to create API credentials in Shutterstock. You add those credentials to Brightspot, after which editors can browse for images in your Shutterstock account.

To create API credentials in Shutterstock:

1. Log on to your Shutterstock account.
2. In the left rail, click Account, then click Developers.
3. Scroll down and click Create new app.
4. In the Create new app widget, do the following:
   

   

   1. In the Callback URL field, enter the domain that editors use to log in to Brightspot (such as brightspot.com).
   2. In the Referrer field, enter the protocol, domain and /shutterstockAuthorization for communicating back to to Brightspot (such as https://brightspot.com/shutterstockAuthorization).
      
      Note

      Brightspot's New Shutterstock API Client widget displays the values you can copy/paste into the Callback URL and Referrer fields, as in the following illustration.

      

   3. Complete the other fields as necessary.
   4. Click Save.
5. Click Close.
6. Back in the Developers page, copy the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret into a text editor. (In the procedure Configuring the Shutterstock integration, you paste these values into the Shutterstock configuration in Brightspot.)
