Connect Lenovo warranty lookup

Lenovo's Warranty Lookup API returns warranty end dates and descriptions for Lenovo hardware by serial number. Connect it once and Vectis fills in warranty expiry on every Lenovo asset, so the asset-lifecycle engine plans refreshes against real manufacturer dates instead of estimates.

What you'll need

  • A business relationship with Lenovo — the Warranty Lookup API is available to Lenovo partners and commercial customers, not as a consumer self-serve product.
  • A ClientID — the single credential Lenovo issues for the warranty API. Lenovo provides it directly; there is no portal page where you generate it yourself.

1. Request a ClientID from Lenovo

Unlike most integrations, you cannot mint this credential from a self-service portal. Request it through your existing Lenovo contact:

  1. Contact your Lenovo account representative or the Lenovo Partner Program — whichever your organization works with.
  2. Ask for access to the Lenovo Warranty Lookup API and request a ClientID for it.
  3. Lenovo authenticates your account and issues the ClientID to you directly.
If you don’t have a named Lenovo representative, your Lenovo hardware reseller or distributor can usually route the request to the right Lenovo team.

2. Add the ClientID to Vectis

  1. Go to Admin → Integrations and click Configure on Lenovo warranty lookup.
  2. Paste the ClientID Lenovo issued you. It is encrypted at rest.
  3. Save and make sure the connector is enabled.

3. Run the enrichment

Open Asset lifecycle → Refresh pipeline and click Enrich warranties — the same button runs every configured vendor connector, Lenovo included. Lenovo’s API is keyed by serial number and looks up one device per call, so Vectis works through your Lenovo assets sequentially. For each asset with a serial number it writes back:

  • warranty_expiry — the latest-ending warranty date Lenovo returns for that serial.
  • warranty_provider — the description of that warranty entry.
Only Lenovo-manufactured assets that have a serial number are eligible. Assets from other manufacturers, or Lenovo devices with no serial recorded, are skipped.

Common errors

Lenovo warranty credentials not configured — No ClientID is saved, or the connector is disabled. Add the ClientID under Admin → Integrations and enable the connector.

401 / 403 from the lookup — The ClientID is wrong, or it is not authorized for the Warranty Lookup API. Confirm the value with your Lenovo representative and that the API was enabled for your account.

Assets reported as “not found” — Lenovo has no warranty record for that serial. This is normal for very old hardware and devices whose serial was entered incorrectly in the source system.
