Authentication

Authentication for all of our back-end REST APIs occurs via HTTP Basic Authentication (Basic Auth). To generate a valid authorization header, pass your base64-encoded Cleverbridge username and password in the authorization request header field, as shown in the following example:

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://rest.cleverbridge.com/urlgenerator/generateusersessionurl' \
  --header 'accept: application/json' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --header 'authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' \
  --data '{
    "TargetUrl": "https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cleverbridge.com%2F864%2F%3Fscope%3Dcheckout%26amp%3Bcart%3D97771%26amp%3Blanguage%3Den%26amp%3Bcurrency%3DUSD%26amp%3Bx-source%3Dwebsite-visit-05.2019"
  }'

Note
To use your username and password to authenticate, your Cleverbridge user must have the following privilege - API User. For more information about user account privileges, see Users ✱.
