Outbrain Authentications API

Token Obtaining a token should be your 1st step toward using Amplify API. You need to include it in all further requests using the HTTP Header OB-TOKEN-V1. In order to protect your privacy, the tokens are valid for a period of 30 days. You will not be able to access Amplify API using an expired token. You can generate as many tokens as you wish. Generating a new token does not invalidate older tokens. When a user password or email are changed in the Create Token Page all tokens generated prior to the change are revoked and a new token must be generated. How to obtain a token ? There are 2 ways to obtain a token via web interface Simply go to your Amplify API Token Page, fill in your password, hit generate, and you will get your token. If you can't see Amplify API Token form, this means that your username doesn't have access to the Amplify API. To register for the Amplify API please fil

        This API transaction is the only one in which you need to supply your Outbrain credentials.


        Your credentials should be sent using Basic Authentication.


        This means that the HTTP Request should include a header:


        named Authorization

        value: BASIC BASE-64-ENC(YOUR_OUTBRAIN_USER_NAME:YOUR_OUTBRAIN_PASSWORD)


        Since all communication to Amplify API are HTTPS, your credentials are safe.


        You can try it using curl command (add -v to actually see the Authorization HTTP header:


        curl -u YOUR_OUTBRAIN_USER_NAME:YOUR_OUTBRAIN_PASSWORD https://api.outbrain.com/amplify/v0.1/login


        Transport Layer Security version 1.2 (TLS 1.2) is mandatory for communication with Amplify API.

        You will need to verify that your environment supports TLS 1.2, and if necessary make appropriate updates.


        Please note that older versions of curl do not support TLS 1.2 and need to be upgraded.'
