Authentication - Criteo Docs

Introduction

To get started with our APIs, use the endpoint below to generate an Access Token with your API credentials.
The access token is a Bearer token to be included in the Authorization Header of all API requests.
Multiple tokens may be generated, each valid for 15 minutes or 900 seconds.

Endpoint

If you receive a 401 Unauthorized HTTP status code, it means your access token has expired. Generate a new access token to continue making requests.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`client_id`	Set up your API credentials through our Developer Portal
`client_secret`	Set up your API credentials through our Developer Portal
`grant_type`	Must be `client_credentials` or `authorization_code`
