Enabling the MWS REST API communication endpoint is required in the following cases.
- Your installation includes the Content Composer Web Client.
- You want to use the MWS REST API from a third-party application.
By default, Content Composer uses HTTPS to encrypt the communication between the Web Client and the MWS REST API endpoint, as well as between third-party applications and the endpoint.
You can also configure these communications to use HTTP.
Note: For security reasons, we recommend the use of HTTPS.
For information on how to configure HTTPS, see Enabling HTTPS for the MWS REST API Communication Channel.
