API Authentication

Authenticate your API requests with the Tapjoy Offerwall API to gain authorized access to manage user engagement and monetization data.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated a day ago

Requesting access

Requests are authenticated using a standard two-legged OAuth2 flow: an 
access_token
is requested using an encoded API Key, and the resulting 
access_token
is used to authenticate against future requests. You can find your API key in the LTV Dashboard by selecting an App > Settings > App Settings > Scroll down > API Keys.

 Access tokens have a 1-hour lifetime and cannot be refreshed. When a token expires, you must request a new one with your Reporting API Key/Marketing API Key. To request an access token you must send a POST request with an Authorization header using your API Key. If the credentials are valid the response will include an access token and the number of seconds until the token expires.

Example request

The following examples show how to request an access token using raw HTTP, curl, and Ruby. 
POST /v1/oauth2/token Host: api.tapjoy.com Authorization: Basic <API Key> Accept: application/json

Successful response

A successful request returns a 200 status with an access token and its expiry duration in seconds. 
status 200 { "access_token": "token_string", "token_type": "bearer", "expires_in": 3600, "refresh_token": null }

Unsuccessful response

If the API Key is invalid or missing, the request returns a 401 status. 
status 401{ "error": "Unauthorized" }

Using the access token

Once you have an 
access_token
, requests can be made to the API. The 
access_token
should be sent with every request in the Authorization header with a type of "Bearer". If the 
access_token
has expired or does not exist the response will have a status of 401 Unauthorized.

Example request

The following example shows the required headers for an authenticated API request. 
POST /v4/audiences Host: api.tapjoy.com Authorization: Bearer <token_string> Accept: application/json

Missing or invalid token response

If the access token is missing or has expired, the request returns a 401 status. 
status 401 { "error": "Unauthorized" }
