Create an API Token

Marketing Cloud Personalization uses API tokens to authenticate and authorize all API requests to Personalization's REST API.

Required Editions

Permissions Needed
To create an API token: A role with Administrator permissions
  1. From the bottom section of the main navigation, select Security > API Tokens.
  2. Click Create Token.
  3. To allow the token to access the API, select Can access API.
  4. To allow the token to send events, select Can send events.
  5. To restrict access to specific datasets in your Personalization account, select the datasets from the Select datasets field. Otherwise, the token applies to all current and future datasets in your account.
  6. Add any Notes about the token as necessary.
  7. To define the IP addresses that can use the token, enter the IP addresses into the IP Accept List field and separate them with commas. When configured, requests that originate from addresses not on this list are rejected.
    API Token configuration doesn’t support the use of IP ranges when defining IP addresses that can use the token.
  8. Click OK.
  9. A dialog appears so you can access the API Key ID and API Key Secret, which function like a username and password in an API request.
    Note
    Note These values can be used to access your data in Personalization, so download and store them securely. After you close this dialog, you can’t access these values again.
