An Auth-Token is used to authenticate the service. Your Auth-Token must be specified in the request header or passed as a query parameter in the URL. Find out more about tokens. To view and manage your tokens, log into the Self Service Portal.

Security

We strongly recommend that you secure your integration to prevent malicious use.

Depending on your setup, you can specify:

  • CORS origin domains
    Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a specification developed by W3C that allows browsers to make cross-domain requests. When making a request to our service, the browser will add an origin request header. Our service will then respond with a CORS specific response header denoting the origin domains allowed to make requests.
    To secure your integration, specify the origin domains that will have access to your integration. Go to Self Service Portal > Licenses. Click Edit for the required token and enter up to five origin domains.
  • Permitted URLs
    If you're integrating your token into a web form, you can also specify the permitted URLs to ensure that only requests from your domains are authenticated. Go to Self Service Portal > Licenses. Click Edit for the required token and enter up to five URLs. See an example of a successful response.
  • Whitelisted IPs/IP ranges
    If you're integrating your token to an API service on your server, specify the IP addresses or IP address ranges to ensure that only requests from your servers are authenticated. Go to Self Service Portal > Licenses. Click Edit for the required token and enter up to five IPs/IP ranges. See an example of a successful response.
