  title: Tribute Store Authentication Obituaries API
  description: 'The Tribute Store API is a REST-style JSON API from Tribute Technology for partners who integrate funeral-home case-management systems with the Tribute Store. It lets an integrator authenticate a funeral home, push its serving locations (rooftops), and push obituary cases (the deceased, their obituary text, service events, and a photo). Each successfully posted obituary automatically provisions a personalized Tribute Store page for the deceased, reachable at the store base URL with an ?oId={OBITUARY_ID} query string.


    Access is partner-gated. Tribute Technology issues each integrator a {Provider} credential plus an IP allowlist, and issues each funeral home a {HostName, UserName, Password} triple. The triple is exchanged at the token endpoint for a short-lived HTML bearer token that scopes all subsequent requests to that funeral home.


    This document was modeled from the public "Tribute Store API Documentation 1.1" (updated March 25, 2019). Field lists and endpoints are taken verbatim from that document; response object schemas beyond the documented sample fields are omitted rather than fabricated.'
