All Social-ID NOW Restful APIs make use of HTTP Basic for authentication.

Most APIs require authentication through the id/secret pair of a Marketing Account or a Social Login App.

However, some APIs may be used without any authentication. An example is the login/info API, which requires only the Social Login App secret that can be found in the Social Login App settings.

Marketing Account Authentication

Each Marketing Account has its own id/secret pair to access available APIs.

How to get Marketing Account id/secret pair?

Once you log into the Social-ID Now platform and set up a Marketing Account, access keys can be found in the following URL:

  https://app.socialidnow.com/marketing/apis

Example

  curl --user <api_id>:<api_secret> https://api.socialidnow.com/<path>

Social Login App Authentication

Each Social Login App has its own id/secret pair to access available APIs. In those APIs the information created or retrieved will always be associated with the Social Login App used for authentication.

How to get Social Login App id/secret pair?

Each Social Login App has an API area where access keys can be found:

  https://app.socialidnow.com/marketing/login/apps/<login_app_id>/apis

Example

  curl --user <login_app_id>:<api_secret> https://api.socialidnow.com/<path>
