StepStone offers an official publisher API via OAuth2. You need a StepStone account with a posting contract.

  1. In the StepStone backend → API access → request client credentials. StepStone returns client_id and client_secret.
  2. In BAconn: Connector → StepStone → enter credentials. BAconn encrypts both (AES-256-CTR).
  3. Test connection. BAconn runs the OAuth2 token flow and confirms once a bearer token is available.
  4. First publish: create a job → "Publish to StepStone". The bundle uploads via the publisher API; typical response time 2-5 seconds.

Tier: StepStone is included from Starter (€249/mo). On Free, the API is locked — you can prepare the connector but cannot publish.
