Adobe Stock API connection issues

Hi, does Adobe Stock API support the Server-to-Server Authentication. If not, will it have the support? 
The issue is that I want to connect to Adobe Stock API using my application's backend, so user does not have to log in using his credentials. E.g. to use the License API I need the access token, which I can not generate now.  Or is there any way to generate one?

You can only with certain subscriptions use the API without authentification. This is probably the case for those print on demand companies, licensing thousands of assets for wall paper applications or similar. Other users may use the API, but need to be authenticated.

It is exactly my case. The client wants to have a library where users can select images from the Stock and add to their own library, but without them authenticating. So I am looking for a way to communicate with Stock API via my server, so user does not authenticate with his account. He is not even supposed to have an account. Only the client has an account, from which the images are taken. 

So there is no way to use Stock API without the user authenticating?

The client needs the correct subscription. These are custom subscriptions for high-end clients. So yes, that is possible.

 

Just to confirm, you have seen this?

https://developer.adobe.com/stock/docs/getting-started/

and the links exposed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-discussions/stock-api-information/td-p/11358685

 

I would suggest you to contact Adobe sales for more information on what subscription is needed and if it is available for the use your customer intends to have.

 

@Christopher at Adobe can correct me are or add additional context if needed.

Hi Audrey,

You posted to Using the Community, which is for questions about the forums. I don't see a board specifically for Stock API, so I've moved your post to Stock Contributors, where the Experts there can better advise.
