Credentials for authentication

For data security and privacy reasons, all requests made using Sitecore Search JS SDK for React require authentication.

While authenticating, the credentials attributes added to the WidgetsProvider component depend on how your subdomain is set up. You can find their values for the following in the Sitecore Search interface.

The following table lists the attributes needed for authentication:

Attribute	Type	Description
`env`	string	Environment from where the data should be gathered. Typical values include staging, uat, and prod.
`customerKey`	string	Customer ID provided by Search.
`serviceHost`	string	API host provided by Search. Required when subdomain is set up with Search.
`apiKey`	string	API key generated by Search. Required when subdomain is not set up with Search.

Important

The JS SDK sets a cookie and includes the UUID when tracking events. Visitor information, UUID, is required to personalize search results.
