The Marketplace Platform uses API tokens to authenticate requests to the REST API . Your API token must be included in the "Authorization" HTTP header with the "Bearer" prefix for authentication. For example, the following request could be used to retrieve a list of Buyers:
Your API keys have permissions assigned to them, so keep them secure. Do not share your secret API keys in public areas like GitHub or client-side code. All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
Account administrators can access the API tokens page by navigating to the main menu and selecting Settings > API tokens.
The page displays all tokens that have been created in your account. For each token, you can view the following information:
