[sankar_bhatta]

Hi Experts,

is it possible to consume Ariba Open APIs in an application developed in SAP cloud platform. As you know Ariba open APIs follow oauth authentication. what tools are available in SAP CP to build application which can call these APIs? Any documentation or tutorials available?

Hi Sankara,

We started recording a tutorial series about Ariba APIs last year (not completed). You can find it hosted by the SAP HANA Academy on YouTube:

• Developing apps with SAP Ariba API

Also posted a blog with more general information about SAP Ariba (docs, training, etc.)

• Introduction to SAP Ariba

There is a sandbox environment for SAP Ariba APIs on the SAP API Business Hub as indicated by gregorw. For development (and production), you need to sign up for the developer portal

• developer.ariba.com/api
• help.sap.com/viewer/product/ARIBA_APIS/

Hi Denys,

Thanks for your answer. I saw the HANA academy video series. The tutorials only talk about consuming them in postman. Is there any video or tutorial on consuming these API in SAP cloud platform?

Not that I know of. The project was discontinued due to other priorities.

The objective was to build a series similar to the one made for SAP SuccessFactors

Ariba offers REST API's. So I would suggest that you try CAP to consume the service.
