Barcodesoft API & SAP SuccessFactors Integration
Step-by-step technical implementation for dynamic barcode generation.
1
OAuth 2.0 Authentication Flow
After your order is processed, you will receive an email containing your User_id, Secret, and Scope. These are required to obtain a Bearer Token.
Token Request Endpoint:
POST https://www.barcodesoft.com/api/auth/token
Required Body Parameters (application/x-www-form-urlencoded):
| Key | Value / Source |
|---|---|
grant_type | client_credentials |
client_id | Your provided User_id |
client_secret | Your provided Secret |
scope | Your provided Scope |
2
SAP SuccessFactors Configuration
Security Center
Create a new OAuth Configuration. Use the details from Step 1. Ensure the "Client Authentication" is set to "Send as Basic Auth header" or "Send in body" based on your SF version requirements.
Integration Center
Define your Destination Settings. The system will use the token automatically when calling the REST endpoints below if the authentication is linked correctly.

Implementation Best Practices
- SVG Advantage: Always prefer
imageformat=svgfor SuccessFactors Document Generation to ensure barcodes remain crisp when resized or printed to PDF. - Data Encoding: Use URL encoding for the
dataparameter, especially if your strings contain spaces, ampersands, or parentheses. - Caching: Since these are REST calls, consider the performance impact on high-volume document generation. The Barcodesoft cloud infrastructure is optimized for high-concurrency.
