RestAPI Overview

Basic Constraints

• The API is designed to comply with HTTP and REST specifications. For example, use the Get method for query requests and the POST method for submission requests. If a request does not use the corresponding HTTP method, an error will be returned.
• Unless otherwise specified, the call parameter values should be transcoded to UTF-8 and URL encoding.

Data Centers and Base URLs

When using the REST API, you need to combine the selected base URL with the path of the specific API to obtain the complete invocation address.

          {base URL}/{API path}

        

Authentication Method

The EngageLab REST API uses the authentication method of HTTP Basic Authentication: Add Authorization to the HTTP Header:

          Authorization: Basic ${base64_auth_string}

        

The generation algorithm for the above base64_auth_string is: base64(api_key:api_secret)

• The header name is "Authorization", and the value is the base64-converted "username:password" pair (with a colon in the middle).
• In the scenario of the MA API, the username is the APIKey, and the password is the APISecret. Please add a data source of the API type in the data source to obtain the APIKey and API Secret.
