Authorization

Authorization of API calls depends on the requirements of the 3rd party system you are working with. Dataddo provides various built-in authorizers to various platforms such as Google Analytics, Facebook, or Instagram.

If the service that you wish to connect to doesn't have a built-in authorizer, please carefully review the documentation for the service to set the authorization scheme correctly.

API Key In the URL (Query String)

To set up authorization based on an API key in the URL, you simply need to add the token to the API URL parameter as in the example below:

https://api.service.com?token=YOUR\_TOKEN

Static Token in HTTP Header

You must send HTTP requests with an Authorization header that contains the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string username: password. For example, to authorize as user123 / p@ss123. the client would send the following.

Authorization: Basic dXNlcjEyMzpwQHNzMTIzLg==
