Product Overview

Authentication

Partner sites/channels will be provided with credentials to authenticate requests to the API. Only information for properties enabled for your API credentials will be returned in response.

All requests are expected to be sent as HTTP POST requests with the contentContent-type Type header set to application/json.

User Auth

In most cases, user auth userAuth will be used, the credentials supplied will need to be explicitly set in the userAuth section of the request and access will only be granted to sites this user is authorized to have access to. When authenticating via the userAuth method, siteID or siteIDList must be specified for the API to determine which site(s) the request relates to.

{
    "userAuth": {
        "username": "username",
        "password": "password"
    }
}

Partner Auth

In some cases, partner auth partnerAuth can be used to provide the site/channel with an authToken to be used for authentication. When authenticating via the partnerAuth method, siteID/siteIDList may be specified, if not, the response will contain information for all sites the authToken is configured to allow access to. For some operations, the siteID may still be mandatory, in this case it will be mentioned in the instruction page for that operation.

{
    "partnerAuth": {
        "authToken": "UUxwaGgPSnvos3whaswTDB62JEj1xEu6zQapud7rHj988aY8r8J3JtUeYOCLWtLjCp45gz6ni4bFXp5eIgmdxuI5wJjS4F-WDZtdc27po4k"
