Enterprise DDEX Gateway
What the SpaceMedia DDEX Gateway is for, who needs it, and where the technical documentation lives.
Settings > DDEX Gateway is where an organization admin creates and manages API credentials. It requires the Enterprise API feature.
This page is orientation. Every contract, endpoint, and example is at docs.spacemedia.uk.
What it is for
Two audiences use this area:
- API integrators, who need organization credentials to build against the Delivery API.
- Standards-native partners, who exchange DDEX ERN messages rather than using REST.
Both start here, because both need scoped credentials created by an administrator.
Credentials
Creating and rotating credentials is always an explicit administrator action. Copy the secret when it is shown; it is displayed once.
Grant the narrowest capability set the integration needs. New credentials default to read-only catalog access, and installing the Enterprise Delivery API add-on does not silently widen an existing client's permissions.
Staging first
Staging activation and API testing are free, and the environment is production-compatible. Build and rehearse there before requesting anything in production.
Live DDEX connection activation is gated on review, conformance evidence, and licensing. It is not a self-service switch, and simulated conformance in staging never activates a live connection.
Where to go next
- How the API works for the model.
- Quickstart for the first call.
- DDEX Gateway for the standards-native path.
- API and webhooks to choose between the two APIs.
