Authentication

There are three ways you can authenticate on the mediarithmics API:

• Temporary access tokens

• Long-term access tokens

• Signature authentication

Check our guide on Authentication for a complete view.

In our example we will generate and use a long-term access token in the UI (though a temporary access token would be a better fit for a client side app):

• connect to the mediarithmics platform

• navigate to settings

• then My Account > Api Tokens

• click on the "New Api Token" to generate a long-term access token

We will now use this token in the Authorization header of all our requests to the mediarithmics API.
